![]() The chapters oscillate between Hetty and Sarah and the reader gets a glimpse of slave owner and the enslaved. This multiple perspective reminds me a lot of Barbara Kingsolver’s “Poisonwood Bible”. The story is split in two and told from the perspective of Sarah Grimké and a slave girl who worked in the Grimké household, Hetty Handful. I guess what I am trying to say in this introduction is that I went in blind. All I knew was that Sue Monk Kidd was an American woman. To be honest, I was not even sure of the author’s racial background or where the author grew up. ![]() ![]() This book was actually suggested by the book club I am in, and so I started to read it without much knowledge of the author or the real story of the Grimké sisters, Sarah and Angelina. I just finished reading The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd. ![]()
