“1978. The year I turned ten and the year my mama killed herself. She was thirty-five, and dying is the last thing that should have been on her mind.”

After the death of her mother, Sylvia Butler’s father, a man she knows only from an old photo, takes her from Louisville, Kentucky to Ozark, Alabama to live with his family. But his wife resents everything about this intruder, from her out-of-wedlock conception to her dark skin and nappy hair.

When the wife’s younger brother Charles returns from Vietnam, Sylvia thinks she has found a friend and confidante, only to be hurt again, but this time, in a manner she never could have imagined.

Set under the backdrop of the Deep South in the 70s and 80s, this coming of age story of redemption and grace follows Sylvia in her journey from awkward girl to confident young woman, at last standing on her own.

"She could cut you open with one note and sew you up with another."

Ms. Jackson-Brown's debut novel, Drinking From a Bitter Cup, pulled me in with the first sentences: "1978. The year I turned ten and the year my mama killed herself." And, as only happens with the best books, I couldn't stop reading and yet I didn't want the novel to end. The characters are complex and unforgettable, the story hauntingly told from the first person point-of-view of Sylvia Butler, beginning at the age of 10, filled with yearning, kindness, and reverence.
Before her mother, Rose, kills herself, she tells Sylvia, "Don't love anybody too much. Keep just a little back," advice she doesn't understand at the time, but learns the full meaning of only too soon.
Drinking From a Bitter Cup is full of heartbreak and hope, told with a compelling voice. There are so many memorable moments, such as one of my favorites, where Sylvia's father speaks of her mother Rose's singing voice: "She could cut you open with one note and sew you up with another." The same could be said of Ms. Jackson-Brown and her powerful novel.

Gripping, beautiful, and surprisingly lyrical

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 27 dicembre 2015

A moving tale of Sylvia's emotional and difficult childhood and teen years - full of upheaval, powerfully narrated and with characters painted with bold brushstrokes. The characters are not nuanced - each plays a fairly straightforward role of evil, redemption, support, love (etc), but Jackson-Brown very capably handles them so they are not caricatures or one-dimensional. The story moves along (and like the characters themselves, the storyline is somewhat predictable and yet still gripping, never boring). I found myself in tears at around 94% of the way through the kindle version when Sylvia crawls back into her Mama's big old bed, as Jackson-Brown brings the story full circle and you realize that this little girl has grown up through so much yet retains her vulnerable core. Definitely worth a read.

Intriguing

I've had this book in my kindle for a couple of years and I'm so glad I finally decided to read it. It tells the heartbreaking yet heartwarming story of Sylvia Butler. It's a story of love, hate, depravity, hope and perseverance.

Sylvia has endured so much in her young life. Her mother's mental health issues and eventual suicide. Moving to live with a father she didn't know and all she encountered there. She endured so much sadness and brutality in her short life but she rose above it all.

The author has done a terrific job of telling this gripping tale; one that draws you in and I it were possible, reach into the pages and strangle some of the characters. I would have loved to know what happened beyond where this book ended. I hope there will be a follow up book.
