"flashbacks" by Jenifer Prince on INPRNT

I love them and wish them all the happiness in the world

"It had been ages since they had danced together, but they slipped back into their easy partnership. Every time she danced with Rosa Maria, Louise got the same little thrill of excitement in the pit of her stomach. They so perfectly knew how to move with each other, it was as if they were linked by one brain, one heart. Dancing was easier now than talking to each other. They glided across the floor, making difficult steps look simple. Louise realized she was grinning. It was different from dancing at the Zodiac. At the Zodiac, everyone danced. Here, there was a spotlight on them and everyone watched. As the song ended, Rosa Maria twirled her once, twice, three times, and she sank down in a curtsy. Louise looked around. People were watching them, unsure of what to make of two girls dancing with each other. It was bold. It was a statement."

At Christmas, I got Dead Dead Girls by Nekesa Afia, a gift from my sister who knows I love murder mysteries set in the 1920s! In the novel, Louise a young Black woman finds herself investigating the murders of young Black girls in Harlem in the Summer of 1926.

I waited until now to read it, specifically because it is set in August --and you may know I’m quite peculiar about this!-- and I quite enjoyed it. Especially since Louise has a girlfriend, the beautiful Rosa Maria! But also because it reminded me of our family holiday in the late Summer of 2013, when we called Harlem home for a dozen days!

And as I finished it on Sunday, I realized that Nekesa Afia is Canadian! So I hope she might set her next novel in 1920s Toronto; for I still miss Frankie, Trudy, Mary and Flo every day (and I have not watched the last season yet!)
