Review: An astonishingly gripping, enthralling and enchanting read A novel so powerful, it took my breath away What an insight into South American in the 1800s, a savage chapter In History so well told, it made me wince n cry with disbelief and subsequent relief that it is all over Did it all really happen? Were the so called coloured people only 3/4th human? How could the taking away of a child from her mother to never seeing her again and hearing of her death years later, being lashed for learning the alphabet, flogging and branding a mother in front of the child while she looks on helpless be justified, the basic rights to human life denied to the negros, and why just them'? The restrictions that killed the aspirations and ambition of thousands of white women in South America, the laws which prohibited them to express their opinion and views, take up a profession or even get educated at the same level as men be thought of as the will of God? Did bible really preach that slavery is the way of life? Unputdownable. What an inspirational story of two strong willed women who fought all odds to make their voice heard in a society where women were shushed for so long that they didn't know their voices existed The author has woven fictional as well as non-fictional events intricately together perfectly preserving the reality and adding twists and turns which are in perfect tandem with the story, maintaining the pace very well. Words fall short in describing the beauty of this compelling narrative.
Review: Bei der Suche nach einem historischen Roman, der in den Südstaaten des 19. Jahrhunderts spielt, stieß ich auf diesen Roman und meine Erwartungen wurden weit übertroffen! Die Autorin schreibt einen ungewöhnlich guten Stil, mit dem es ihr gelingt eine einzigartige Atmosphäre zu erzeugen. Auch die Idee der wechselnden Perspektive - im Wechsel die Sicht eines Sklavenmädchens und einer Plantagenbesitzerstochter - ist eindruckvoll ausgearbeitet. Während die Geschichte der Sara interessant ist, war für mich v.a. die Schilderungen des Lebens der Sklavin Hetty und ihrer Mutter beeindruckend und fesselnd. Der Autorin gelingt es ein einfühlsames und eindrucksvolles Bild dieser Zeit zu zeichnen.Sehr empfehlenswert!

*by D***N on 4 August 2017*

I might have rated it with 5 stars if "The secret life of bees" was not my 2nd favourite book in the genre (To kill a mocking bird stand's first). I expected so much more from Sue Monk Kid. That's no fault of hers. The book is fascinating not only because it blends fact with fiction so beautifully, but also because it evokes deep emotions in the reader. The pain is raw and real. The victory merely a long-held- breath released.
