Fun book -- it's like "hearing" the two women talk about their lives. They have great personalities that come through as they share about their experiences living as African American women over the last 100 years.

Excellent history of two sisters and their first 100 years together. Interesting - not a lesson on history, but a reliving that takes the reader into the Delany sisters home and family.

I really enjoyed this book. It was interesting and inspiring. To see women this old and really enjoying and living life to the hilt, makes me think, "I can do this too when I am old". A very enjoyable book.

I was so impressed with this historical record of two independent women of virtue and opinion. It gives an incite into thoughts and heritage of Black women who lived through perhaps the most troubling times in modern America. THis book is well written and one in which the reader comes to know the characters.......and they were......like friends. I am using in for my bookclub's selection this year!
