Bailey's Cafe

**A “moving and memorable” novel about a cafe where everyone has a story to tell from the award-winning author of *The Women of Brewster Place* (*The Boston Globe*).**

In post–World War II Brooklyn, on a quiet backstreet, there’s a little place that draws people from all over—not for the food, and definitely not for the coffee. An in-between place that’s only there when you need it, Bailey’s Cafe is a crossroads where patrons stay for a while before making a choice: Move on or check out?

In this novel, National Book Award–winning author Gloria Naylor’s expertly crafted characters experience a journey full of beauty and heartbreak. Touching on gender, race, and the African American experience, *Bailey’s Cafe* is “a sublime achievement” about the resilience of the human spirit (*People*).
