This is on my list of books to read! Can’t wait to get to it!
I read this book recently, I loved it. I have been to Charleston area as mentioned and seen the historical sites such as the slave market and a couple plantations outside of the city. I also grew up in Nova Scotia so knew about the history of the negro population.
That was an awesome book. I think you will like “The Help” Same sort of book but set in the 50s(I think) I really liked them both.
This was one of the few books that i have had to abandon…it was sad and distrubing in a way i couldn’t get passed. The horrific true events were too much…similarily the Holocoaust stories depict the worst of human nature!!!
I think this is one of my best reads ever! It’s right up there with The Help and Sarah’s Key! I bought the paper back book but a friend of mine bought the hard cover. I wish I had spent the money because the hard cover had illustrations that really brought the story to life!
