Re: Cypress
in reply to a message by Bex
Cypress Night sounds like an old voodoo tale out of the bayous in Louisiana or something.
Cypress just isn't a name to me.
There is a book by some author with a long African name, Ntozaki or something like that, that features three sisters named Cypress, Indigo and Sassafras. That's the only sibset I can think of that includes Cypress.I think, therefore I judge.

Ntozake ShangeThe author you're thinking of is Ntozake Shange (so you were pretty close). She's most famous for the play "for colored girls who have considered suicide / when the rainbow is enuf," but "Sassafrass, Cypress & Indigo" is one of her novels.
