fiction books

[lauren18uk]

hi can anyone please tell me of any books they know ( fictional books) about interracial relationships?

[Fictional]

the entire noughts and crosses series is about racism, and the relationships between black and white people, but Noughts And Crosses and Double Cross focus most out of all of them on inter-racial romantic relationships.

I was going to suggest these, too.

Okay, okay, I'm kidding. I'm afraid I can't think of any books that really address this - although I definitely plan to look up this naughts and crosses series now - but a movie called Save the Last Dance was all about this, and was a fun watch besides. I know that books > movies, but I thought it was worth a mention.

Hey! I think I'm going to move this to Sports and Entertainments, since it's about, you know, books and such.

I didn't know any firsthand, but I did do a quick Google search and came up with the following fiction books under the subject of "Interracial Dating." Keep in mind that I've never actually read any of these, so I can't testify as to whether they're good or not, but they might be worth checking out from the library or something.

• Gods in Alabama by Joshilyn Jackson
• If You Come Softly by Jacqueline Woodson
• Milk in my Coffee by Eric Jerome Dickey
• The Dim Sum of All Things by Kim Wong Keltner
• Cotton by Christopher Wilson
• Strange Fruit by Lillian Smith
• American Knees by Shawn Wong
• Boaz Brown by Michelle Stimpson
• Pushkin and the Queen of Spades: A Novel by Alice Randall
• Meeting of the Waters: A Novel by Kim McLarin
• Sweet Eyes by Jonis Agee
• Shadow of the Dragon by Sherry Garland
• Eight Days a Week by Larry Duplechan
• The Devil's Own Rag Doll by Mitchell Bartoy
• Something Real by J. J. Murray
• ZACHARY'S WINGS: A Novel by Rosemarie Robatham
• Don't the Moon Look Lonesome: A novel by Stanley Crouch
• Original Love by J. J. Murray
• Stopping for Green Lights by Alyce Miller
• Doin' the Box Step by Suzanne Falter-Barns
• Close to the bone : a novel by Jake Lamar
• Sky daddy by Canaan Parker

Good luck! Let me know if you read any, and which are good.

Apart from Noughts and Crosses (like everyone said) nothing springs to mind.

However there's a book called Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, which I love. Its main themes cover racism and although relationships aren't really covered in the book, its one of the best novels I've ever read and it truly moved me. Also To Kill A Mockingbird is also a book which covers racism, but again not relationships.
Just thought I'd throw those two into the mix.

I loved that book...it was great and the other has another book called The Land which is good.

One thousand white woman: the journal of may dodd (looks good)
The secret life of bee's by sue monk kidd (its a great book and it touches on first love)

And I did a quick search on google (interacial relationships) and got this link:

Hope this helped.
