About this title: 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.

"Excellent novel. Naylor's prose really penetrates into the enduring human struggle, particularly for so many women, who are abused and forgotten, over and over again. It's a haunting sort of story. Some of the narration is clunky but it is hardly a distraction from the gut-wretching stories that she describes about abuse, neglect, shame, pain, triumph, and freedom. A real gift."
"depiction of the many lives of people whose only common denominator is bailey's cafe. why each person is drawn to that place, it is not explicitly said.
it reminds me that each person has a certain comfort zone and why he/she chooses to be there may be based on common sense or be as trivial even to the person itself."
