Ava's Man was one of the most touching, yet entertaining books I have read in a long time. Among Rick Bragg's greatest talents is his ability to make the reader laugh and cry at the same time.
Highly recommended book

The beauty of Bragg's writing is otherworldly. I read with tears in my eyes through much of the book at the sheer loveliness of his language. The characters are so real and so loveable that I found myself unable to read the last section because I knew "Charlie" was going to die, and I could not bear the thought. This tribute to a grandfather who died before the author's birth, is a must read for anyone who loves the English language, biographies, good stories or their families! I will re-read this book often, at least sections of it, to remind myself how our language CAN sound when it is used with skill and love. Penelope
Fearless, gripping, at once darkly funny and tender, spanning three continents and numerous lives, Americanah is a richly told story set in today's globalized world.
The story of an American family, middle class in middle America, ordinary in every way but one. But that exception is the beating heart of this extraordinary novel.
