A Raisin in the Sun


A Raisin in the Sun

Rating: Really liked it

A raisin in the sun is one of the most misnomer titles of all time and the book is in fact nothing about raisins or the sun, but I guess these things could be a symbol for something else.  This novel is about a black family that is far from perfect and at the same time beautiful. It is their struggle as they attempt to move out of their community into an all white one at a time when this nation was still racially divided. As this family tries to move out and struggles to make ends meat, life goes on and in the end it does just that. This book is a great one for older readers who can understand racism and comprehend this families position,

Recommeded to: Everyone
