Lyrically beautiful prose

I had only known Ntozake Shange through her choreopoem, For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide, so I was very curious about her prose writing. I found this book very beautifully written and well crafted. This book is about an artist, Liliane, who journeys into memories of her childhood. As a product of an interracial marriage, Liliane must struggle to define herself and what color means in her life.
