The Davenports follows a rich black family in a time period where it is uncommon. We see the points of view of four main characters as they go through changes in their lives. Olivia is the oldest sister who can be seen as more traditional. Helen is the youngest sister who would rather break away from expectations. Amy-Rose is the girls' maid, and Ruby is Olivia's best friend.
First of all, I really like the cover of the book and the colors. The beginning of the book was a little slow and not as enjoyable as the rest. Once I had actually gotten into the book and began reading, I kept wanting to continue reading. There was not a part where I was bored and I was engaged the whole time. I like the characters and seeing them realize their own faults while growing from them. I also liked seeing how the relationships between characters developed from the beginning of the book to the end. The ending was not as satisfying to me as I would have liked but overall I really enjoyed the book.
