Redwood Court
A Black family in 1990s South Carolina, seen through its youngest daughter and the neighbours on their street.
Told through Mika, the youngest in a Black family in 1990s South Carolina, in linked chapters that hand the story around to grandparents, aunts and neighbours on the street where they live. Dameron is less interested in plot than in accumulation: the jobs, the church, the second jobs, the house bought against the odds. A portrait of working-class Black family life that lets ordinary days be the subject.
