I cannot read or write about this book without wanting to compare it to Toni Morrison s Beloved Both books make physical the legacy of slavery by embodying the injuries inflicted upon slaves physical and emotional In doing so Morrison and Perry show the impossibility of leaving behind the past in fact they insist upon the undesirability of leaving behind by merely forgetting the past The past must be remembered in order to be dealt with say Morrison and Perry as well as many other African American authors of this period including Edwidge Danticat in Breath Eyes Memory and Octavia Butler in Kindred Many novels would seem flat and uninspired in comparison to Morrison s novel but the power and beauty of Phyllis Alesia Perry s Stigmata are not diminished by the similiarities between the books Perry s approach is straightforward than Morrison s but her ideas are no less interesting for it where Morrison deals with ghosts and rememory Perry deals with stigmata and reincarnation Nor do her characterization and plot suffer by comparison with Morrison In short I would highly recommend this book I ve been thinking perhaps I want to teach Beloved in my sopho level literature class but I was put off by its difficulty and inaccessibility to many readers Stigmata would be a than acceptable alternative for teaching If you enjoyed Toni Morrison s Beloved you might also like Stigmata if you wanted to read Beloved but were put off by the hype surrounding the book or its density you might like Stigmata instead if you didn t like Beloved at all well I don t know what to say to you but you should still give Stigmata a chance My Father's Daughter you enjoyed Toni Morrison s Beloved Secret Diary of a Grumpy Old Woman you might also like Stigmata if Grumpy Old Women you wanted to read Beloved but were put off by the hype surrounding the book or its density Trap Origin #5 you might like Stigmata instead if Northaven you didn t like Beloved at all well I don t know what to say to The Angel and the Prince you but Cuckolded by the Futa Motorcycle Club you should still give Stigmata a chance

I read this soon after rereading Kindred by Octavia Butler and the two books are good to compare and to contrast Beautiful poetic writing style in Stigmata and nice clear voices for each of the main characters I wasn t uite as emotionally engaged with Grace and Ayo as I was with Lizzie but the writing helped make up for that This is a book about racial and family trauma and its effects down the generations The ending is left open which I think works well
