Opis
The first book by a black women to sell over one million copies - this gripping novel from 1946 is as prescient and powerful today as when it was first published. Now reissued as part of the Virago Modern Classics Green Spine design.
From the time she was born, she had been hemmed into an ever-narrowing space, until now she was very nearly walled in . . .
New York City, 1940s. In a crumbling tenement in Harlem, Lutie Johnson is determined to build a new life for herself and her eight-year-old boy, Bub. Having left her unreliable husband, Lutie believes that with hard work and resolve, she can begin again. But in her struggle to earn a respectable living amid the violence, poverty and racial dissonance of her surroundings, Lutie is soon trapped: she is a woman alone, 'too good-looking to be decent', with predators at every turn. The first book by a Black woman to sell more than a million copies, The Street combines the pace of a thriller with an unflinching portrait of injustice and hope.
Introduced by TAYARI JONES

'Like the human experience, this book is riddled with pain, but somehow powered by hope' - TAYARI JONES
'I've recently had my brain re-wired by Ann Petry, and it's that exhilarating feeling of falling in love with one of your lifetime writers for the first time' - BRANDON TAYLOR
