The Deep South of the 60's was a bigoted system of haves and have-nots. Racial lines between black and white Southerners were beginning to blur, with social issues being scrutinized more than ever. Tempers flared easily. Jerry Sanger, the son of a white ex-sharecropper, and Eloisa Jones, daughter of a black grocery store owner, suddenly find themselves caught in the middle of a racial battle. The discovery of their secret friendship and budding romance go against all things holy in Princeville, Mississippi. Meanwhile, Sanger's friends in the Coahoma Street Gang find social issues of the times a challenge.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Easy to pick up, Hard to put down. By R. Colby A very interesting reality-based, fictional account of life, love, and hate in a Mississippi river delta town through the eyes and heart of a young man who was there. I read it during lunch on three consecutive days, and the last lunch was quite extended as I could not put the book down. The dialog and the images that Jerry draws with his words, take you there and let you see/feel how it really was then.I have never been in Mississippi, but I have "lived, fallen in love, and fought" there in the 60s a few weeks ago, and since I started to read "Coahoma Street" again, I'll "go do it again" one more time. I almost never read a book twice, but this one is special. It is cheaper, more real, and far better, than a movie.Curl up with this good book this winter.

By charles bollenbaugh Coahoma Street is a wonderful book that captures the mind from the first page to the last. I can only hope on another novel by this author as his style is unique and very descriptive. It feels as if the story is going on around you. Please read this book if you haven't, you wont be sorry! I already know what my entire family is getting for Christmas this year.... their own copies of Coahoma Street!!
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. like going back home By Mercury Man "Coahoma Street" is a really neat novel.The story is entertaining and I had a hard time putting the book down once I started reading it.The setting for the story is Clarksdale, Mississippi, in 1967. (Clarksdale is called "Princeville" in the book.)"Coahoma Street" is an actual street in Clarksdale and Clarksdale's streets, alleys, and other physical landmarks are prominently mentioned throughout the book. The book, in my opinion, does a great job of capturing the essence of Clarksdale in 1967, especially the societal divisions that existed, while telling a story of inter-racial romance, along with greed, murder, incest, and homosexuality.I grew up in Clarksdale in the 1940's, so I found this book totally fascinating, but I think it would be an interesting read for anyone. However, if you have a Clarksdale or a Mississippi connection, it should really get your attention.I also think this story might make an interesting movie.
