Description
A Sitting in St. James by Rita Williams-Garcia is an epic and empathetic novel about the intertwined lives of those bound to a plantation in antebellum America. Set against the backdrop of 1860, Louisiana, this masterpiece reveals the complex web of secrets, horrors, and family bonds that have shaped the history of the Guilberts. Through the story of Madame Sylvie Guilbert, who sits for her final portrait despite her family's objections, the author masterfully weaves together tales from across generations. As the past comes to light, a true portrait of the Guilberts emerges, one that is both brutal and human. Rita Williams-Garcia's writing is magnificent, offering an honest and authentic voice that explores the long history of American racism. This novel is a worthwhile read for anyone grappling with the complexities of this period in American history.
