The Street

Based upon the title, I expected that the setting of this book was going to take place on a street.  However, I had anticipated a very graphic description of it.  I feel like it's common place for novels to really describe the setting, completely independent of whether or not it's the title of the story.  Instead, Perry really describes the wind against the panes of the window, as well as on the streets.  I really enjoy Perry's writing style.  I also really like that the main character, Lutie, is a black woman.  We haven't read anything from the point of view of a black woman and I think it's going to be really refreshing.
