Review:
"[A] warm, graceful first novel....Clarke...brings an affectionate eye and beautifully restrained prose to her fictional archaeology."
John Perry, San Francisco Chronicle Book Review, 08/22/1999
Review:"Breena Clarke's first novel, RIVER, CROSS MY HEART, is a sweet read. Sweet like a glass of Southern iced tea on a hot day. Sweet like homemade ice cream from a hand-cranked machine, and just as rich....As historical fiction, the novel offers a slice of not-so-distant life, in danger of being forgotten. As a coming-of-age story, appropriate for adolescents as well as adults, it gives readers...a strong-willed, intelligent, young heroine."
Holly Bass, Washington Post Book World, 08/29/1999

River, Cross My Heart (ISBN: 0316899984 / 0-316-89998-4) Clarke, Breena Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Back Bay Books, Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A., 1999. Soft Cover. Book Condition: New. Five-year-old Clara Bynum is dead, drowned in the Potomac River in the shadow of a seemingly haunted rock outcropping known locally as the Three Sisters. River, Cross My Heart, which marks the debut of a wonderfully gifted new storyteller, weighs the effect of Clara's absence on the people she has left behind: her parents, Alice and Willie Bynum, torn between the old world of their rural North Carolina home and the new world of the city, to which they have moved in search of a better life for themselves and their children; the friends and relatives of the Bynum family in the Georgetown neighborhood they now call home; and, most especially, Clara's sister, ten-year-old Johnnie Mae, who must come to terms with the powerful and confused emotions stirred by her sister's death as she struggles to decide what kind of woman she will become. This highly accomplished first novel resonates with ideas, impassioned lyricism, and poignant historical detail as it captures an essential part of the African-American experience in our century.
