The Invention of Wings

andrea_strickler shared a tip "I couldn’t stop once I started! This story brings into sharp focus the sacrifice and bravery of those early abolitionists and feminists that forged the path for change. I knew nothing about the life of Sarah Grimke before I started, and now I am astounded that we haven’t all heard of her the way we know about Rosa Parks. I am recommending this book to my friends. This is my favorite book so far this year!"

delanieveit shared a tip "Amazing!!! Sue has such a unique and beautiful writing style that makes it so easy to finish a book of hers in day or two. This book goes back and forth between a slave and her masters daughter. While In the beginning they are close and their stories take place on the same plantation, each chapter is unique to their own separate lives. As time goes on they take their own paths far from each other. #historical #fiction"
