HISTORICAL FICTION
From 1852 to 2004....from one artist to another....from a farm in Virginia to the hustle and bustle of New York City.
THE HOUSE GIRL flawlessly switches between these two time periods telling of the life of Josephine, a slave girl, Lina, a New York City attorney, and Lina's father, Oscar, an artist.
The historical aspect and the fact-finding kept me up late. It is very interesting how the farm's kitchen records, crop records, and births and deaths of every person including the slaves was kept. 5/5

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping.
I would really like to read it, though the treatment of slaves is hard going.
ReplyDeleteYes...that is difficult to read.
