Review: Tougaloo Blues

User Review  - Yeye Lynvonne - Goodreads

Reflective, a southern sip of sun tea with a bit of mint and cane sugar. Refreshing, keen, unself-conscious, a recipe of words from a woman who knows how to cook up a mean mess of 'you exactly what I'm talking about". Sincerely Marian Hayes Read full review
