Without giving too much away, the story centers around three main characters living in Mississippi in the early 60s, two black maids and a young woman who decide to use the talent as a writer to bring light to the civil rights situation. The characters are well developed and the writing is superb – going between each characters own voice. By the end of the novel, I really felt like I “knew” the characters and could picture the southern setting. Buzz amongst my librarian friends is this could be a Pulitzer Prize contender. It certainly has my vote!
Has anyone read anything good lately? I’m always looking for a new adventure.
Until next time,
Fabulous KT
