About This Item
Author signed on the half title page: To Bernice and Frank, Thanks for the American Poets-Mairuth.
"No Crystal Stair is an absorbing novel that explores an increasingly difficult contemporary reality: functioning as though White while surviving as Black. Marion Willow, a proud young widow, must work at two jobs to ensure that her three girls develop lifestyles not hindered by class and colour. The bitter-sweet experience of Marion's elegant American expatriate neighbour. Torrie Delacourt, could help the girls survive Canada's subtle racism, which, though not legislated, wounds and hems them in." (Front Flap"
