The book dragged a little in the middle, but overall a very compelling story with a satisfying ending. I would love to see this made into a movie!

pretty good but i dont think it emotionally affected me and i could see how the characters were meant to have personality but i thought they were slightly bland

Didn't realize til the end that it's based on real history. Was urged to read it. Didn't really want another slave/master story. It's much more than that. Extraordinary women, first feminists, and Southerners at that! Good.

A fascinating fictionalized account of the Grimke sisters, a powerful pair of feminist abolitionists, speakers, writers and teachers. Novels about slavery are always confronting to read, and so important. I listened to the audiobook version and it was really good. The story was engrossing and I learned a lot. The author's notes at the end were really interesting, too.
