•• Hello, Everyone welcome to my blog.


• Here I am writing uopn my one of the most favourite novel "The Women of Brewster place "by Gloria Nylor.So, I hope you enjoyed reading.

••• The Women of Brewster Place (1982) is the debut novel of Americana Gloria Naylor.

• The Women explores the lives of both men and women in an urban setting and examines relationships, both in terms of friendship and romantic love, including homosexual relationships.

•  In each of the "Seven Stories" of its subtitle, one or more of the seven women are involved with the main character of that particular story, such as Mattie appearing in Etta Mae's story or Kiswana showing up in Cora Lee's.

• The Women of Brewster Place is a novel told in seven stories. Of the seven stories, six are centered on individual characters, while the final story is about the entire community. The primary characters and the title characters of each chapter are all women and residents of Brewster Place.

 • Brewster Place is a housing development in an unnamed city. It seems destined to be an unfortunate place since the people linked to its creation are all corrupt. Despite the secretive circumstances surrounding its development, Brewster Place survives for decades, offering a home to one new wave of migrants after another. The life history of Brewster Place comes to resemble the history of the country as the community changes with each new historical shift. Following the Civil Rights Era, Brewster Place inherits its last inhabitants, African-Americans, many of whom are migrants from the southern half of the United States. The stories within the novel are the stories of these residents.

• The first and longest narrative within the novel is Mattie Michael’s. Mattie, along with several other characters, arrives in Brewster Place from her parents’ home in the South. Mattie leaves her parents’ home because she is pregnant by a disreputable man named Butch Fuller. Mattie decides to move to the North at approximately the same time in history as the Great Migration.Mattie’s childhood friend, Etta Johnson, joins Mattie at Brewster Place. After a long life of running from one man to the next, she has arrived at Mattie’s, hoping to find some stability. Kiswana Browne is different from all of Brewster Place’s other residents in that she has chosen to live there voluntarily.Lucielia Louis Turner, also known as Ciel, is the granddaughter of Ms. Eva. Lucielia grew up with Mattie and her son, Basil.As a child, Cora Lee was obsessed with babies, and this obsession continues when she is an adult. Beginning in her sophomore year of high school, she has one child after another, almost all with different men. 
Lorraine and Theresa are the only lesbian residents of Brewster Place. The residents fear Lorraine and Theresa, even though they are a loving and considerate couple. 

• As above the story goes on ahead. I specifically liked this novel because this is the potrayal of different kind of women in one particular place. It including women's condition, situation,space,their place in society. Here  Mattie ,she is the longest remaining character in Brewster place, she is the women who is helping all women in their life and shelter in this place.  Here the potrayal of all women was unique and different from eachother. Some are modern, some are lesbian,some are leaving her husband and pregnent,some are leaving their family family. So, what is the status of this kind of women in our society. Are they accepted in social public. Here Gloria Naylor mainly touches the problems of women and the class system,which are the current issues of our world. Normally we find that one women is the enemy of other women. A women never can help of other women,but here the author deconstruct this idea through Mattie's character. As she understands and feels the issues of Womens and she is helping by sacrifices alot. So, this novel touches my heart.

Thank you.....
