Sanderia Faye’s debut novel, Mourner’s Bench, continues to impresses book reviewers. This time it’s The Rumpus:
Faye’s writing is detailed and descriptive, depicting moments that richly capture life in a small segregated and impoverished town. … Mourner’s Bench is a well-researched and commendable debut effort that expands and complicates the body of literature written about the Civil Rights movement by asking readers to lend equal consideration and weight to the roles age, gender, and religion played.
