Description
The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd is a powerful and sweeping novel inspired by real events. Set in the American Deep South in the nineteenth century, it tells the story of two exceptional women, Sarah and Hetty Grimke, whose lives are forever changed when Hetty is presented to Sarah as a gift on her eleventh birthday.
The novel explores a world of shocking contrasts, where beauty and ugliness coexist, and righteous people live with cruelty they fail to recognise. Through the story of these two women and their struggles against all odds, Kidd celebrates the power of friendship and sisterhood.
