The Twelve Tribes of Hattie by Ayana Mathis

A very readable and interesting novel about Hattie and August and their large number of children.  The plot follows each of the children as they grow up and move away from the family unit and is a very entertaining read.  The writing is good, although some of the characters are a little two dimensional.  I did enjoy this book and it is easy to engage with but there was something a little disjointed about the narrative which prevents this being an excellent novel.
