Connie Briscoe writes contemporary African American fiction about marriage, friendship, ambition and the gap between outward success and private conflict. Sisters and Lovers follows several women through careers, family expectations and relationships, while Big Girls Don't Cry traces one woman's coming of age against changing social and professional opportunities. P.G. County turns to an affluent Black community where wealth, status and marriage conceal rivalries and secrets, and Can't Get Enough continues with characters whose choices have long consequences. Briscoe's prose is accessible, dramatic and strongly ensemble-driven, often shifting among several women's perspectives. Her work fits contemporary women's fiction, family drama and African American relationship fiction. Read more Less
