“With Linden Hills, Naylor has constructed a place for herself among the leading contemporary writers of fiction.”
— Los Angeles Times Book Review

A powerful look at an affluent black community from Gloria Naylor (1950-2016), the author of The Women of Brewster Place A world away from Brewster Place, yet intimately connected to it, lies Linden Hills. With its showcase homes, elegant lawns, and other trappings of Wealth, Linden Hills is not unlike other affluent black communities. But residence in this community is indisputable evidence of "making it." Although no one knows what the precise qualifications are, everyone knows that only certain people get to live there - and that they want to be among them. In a resonant novel that takes as it's model Dante's Inferno, Gloria Naylor reveals the truth about the American dream - that the price of success may very well be on a journey down to the lowest circle of hell.
