No Easy Place to Be A Novel Steven Corbin 9780671658847 Books

Love this book. I read it a few years ago and lost it. Had to have it in my collection. I learned a lot about the trials and tribulations of African American authors/artist during the Harlem Renaissance.

No Easy Place to Be A Novel Steven Corbin 9780671658847 Books Reviews

I found this book in a relatives book collection and now I refuse to return it. This is the first and only book that I have been able to read more than once and I can honestly say that I am anxious for a sequel.
I read this book in the early 90's and it still remains one of the best books I have read! It is a shame that this book is out of print and did not do better when first published. The story is so interesting and character development was done with such skill and finesse. Unlike a lot books I have read lately, my interest in the story and characters never waned. It took me a few months to finish the last few pages because I didn't want the story to end.
I just happened to pick up this book at the library because I enjoyed Fragments That Remain. The story about three sisters in post World War I Harlem swept me away into a time that is so important in African American history. Corbin did an excellent job interwoving the characters in actual events in history. The characters and the settings seemed more realistic, intriguing, and exciting. I could not put the book down. The pain and joy of these sisters and the people involved in their lives brought tears to my eyes and I wanted to intercede in their world (like their mother) and tell them you can do can better. But the reader is forced to let them live their lives and learn from their joy and pain just like their mother had to let go. I cannot wait to read his other novel.
I read this book 19 years ago and it was just as great the second time! I'd forgotten the intricacies of the plot and characters so it was a pleasant surprise. The author is extremely talented and an exquisite writer. I only wish he had written more historical fiction novels to enjoy.
This is my favorite book and the only story I reread over and over again. Dear Mr. Corbin, you left us with a substantial story to remember you by. My dream is to get "No Easy Place to Be" on the silver screen.
