In the United States of the 1950s, there is peace, prosperity, and the American Dream. Aiming to claim their fair share of it, Taylor and Esther Payne begin their lives as a married couple in the haven of Haverly Street in Greenwich Village, New York. Here they can have their love and their license, and though their journey is one of love and trust, it is not without its challenges. As a Negro woman, Esther learns to live in Taylor's white world no longer as his housekeeper but as his wife. In addition to the social conventions that are still against them, even in New York, Esther fears that their marriage has exacerbated the distance between Taylor and his family. Taylor won't talk about it. He is dismissive of his sister and uncle, but Esther is haunted by their absence. She yearns for their family to be whole-but what she learns in the process may endanger their happiness permanently. Set in New York in the 1950s, this novel tells the story of a bold passion between two newly married people as they change their ways for the sake of love.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. This book rewards thoughtful reading By BD One of the things I most hoped for after reading Josephine Garner’s first book “Solomon’s Blues” was that there would be a sequel. I needed to know more about and to be able to follow the lives of the two remarkable and fascinating people, a White lawyer and his Black former housekeeper as they planned to relocate from where marriage for them at that time would have been illegal to the city of New York. I was anxious to know how they were received in that city which still, in 1950, regarded black/white relationships with great suspicion and possibly disdain. This new book, which invites us jnto the private life of these two persons, Esther and Taylor, and their interrelations with friends and family, is that sequel, and a very satisfying one it is.Like a good sequel “A Banner of Love” gives enough reminders of the development of the main characters and situations in “Solomon’s Blues” so that we can recall what life had been for Taylor and Esther in the “separate but equal” days in rural Texas. In the new book they are living now married in an apartment in Greenwich Village, where they have good neighbors who play a significant part in their lives. As in “Solomon’s Blues” the author does not hesitate to give us glimpses into what marital intimacy means to them, but such details play only a “by the way” part alongside the really important changes Taylor and Esther are experiencing. The development of these aspects of the story is gripping, and I had to try hard to resist the temptation to turn to the last past to see how it all works out.As in the first book, the author very appropriately (and absolutely intentionally) uses her extensive knowledge of the biblical book which is frequently quoted in “Solomon’s Blues,” and she does this in a way that could even be seen as a unique method of exegeting scripture without in any way proselytizing. She has a strong understanding too of the theological terms and practical applications regarding “works” and “grace” and uses these words relevantly in Taylor’s and Esther’s conversations. Her skills in sociology and the use of history give us a clear view of the background against which the whole of the drama plays out.I have been reading “A Banner of Love” chapter by chapter every day after lunch to my wife, and it proved to be an experience we both enjoyed and to which we looked forward. Particularly intriguing to my wife, who is from the West Indies, are the many references to being black and the challenges and opportunities that were faced by a female in a largely white society and environment. The author shows a remarkable understanding of the minutia of situations and opportunities that presented themselves to a racially mixed marriage in a country in which such marriages were still less than common.This book is more than simply a story of two people who had, from societal points of view, appeared to be quite mismatched. There is much more than that, and I personally hope that Josephine Garner will continue with this fascinating saga reflecting the continued development of Esther and Taylor as a racially mixed couple and the parents of bi-racial children (should this be in their future), and show us readers how their lives will reflect and are affected by the changing environment of our society.
