Book Reviews of The Friendship
Book Review: A powerful and disturbing story
Summary: 4 Stars
Mildred D. Taylor is a formidable presence in literature for young people. She is a recipient of the Newbery Medal, and this book, "The Friendship," is a winner of the Coretta Scott King Award. Together with Taylor's other books, "The Friendship" explores some painful aspects of African-American history.This story takes place in Mississippi in the 1930s, and is told by Cassie, a young Black child. The conflict in the story revolves around Mr. Tom Bee, an elderly Black man who refuses to observe the racist custom that requires African-Americans to address all white-skinned men as "Mister."
"The Friendship" is a powerful story with great educational value. Taylor offers an unflinching look at life in the South before the civil rights movement. But be warned: this is a grim, violent story which, despite its title, carries very little hope of redemption or reconciliation. And a subplot involving one character is left dangling. Although all readers may not find the book wholly satisfying, I still recommend "The Friendship" as an important piece of fiction.
