Book summary


Bailey's Cafe is not located in a specific geographical area. It is a place that appears whenever a character needs a place "to take a breather for a while." The novel consists of the stories of various characters, all of them desperate, all of them in pain. Naylor uses a jazz-like construction, bringing in many voices all "conducted" by Bailey, to tell the story.


Media reviews


"Absorbing, poignant, and wise...Naylor has crafted a heart-rending testament to the human spirit."
