Description
A FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR FICTION 2016
They used to be inseparable. They used to be young, brave and brilliant – amazingly beautiful and terrifyingly alone. August, Sylvia, Angela and Gigi shared everything: songs, secrets, fears and dreams. But 1970s Brooklyn was also a dangerous place, where grown men reached for innocent girls, where mothers disappeared and futures vanished at the turn of a street corner.
Another Brooklyn is a heartbreaking and exquisitely written novel about a fleeting friendship that united four young lives, from one of our most gifted novelists.

Advance Praise
‘It is the personal encounters that form the gorgeous center of this intense, moving novel.’ New York Times Book Review
‘Woodson manages to remember what cannot be documented, to suggest what cannot be said. Another Brooklyn is another name for poetry.’ Washington Post
'This gorgeous novel is a poem. It is a love letter to black girlhood.' Roxanne Gay, author of Bad Feminist
‘[E]ntwined coming-of-age narratives – lost mothers, wounded war vets, nodding junkies, menacing streetscapes – are starkly realistic, yet brim with moments of pure poetry.’ Elle
