Betsey Brown by Ntozake Shange

We've just begun reading a book called Betsey Brown by Ntozake Shange. We've only read the first and part of the second chapter, so I can't talk too much about the book or even whether I like it; simply because I don't know enough about it.
The book centers around a family in St. Louis. The parents and five children live in a small house with their maternal grandmother. The first chapters detailed their morning and their interactions with one another; the size of their family seems to make everything a jumbled mess of relationships.
So far, I've enjoyed reading the book, although I find it rather confusing.
