Description
The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd is a powerful and moving novel about the unlikely friendship between two exceptional women during the last years of slavery in the US. Set against the backdrop of the American Deep South in the nineteenth century, this sweeping tale evokes a world of shocking contrasts, of beauty and ugliness, of otherwise respectable people living daily with cruelty they fail to recognise. At its heart is the story of Sarah Grimké, whose life is forever changed when her mother presents her with an extraordinary gift - Hetty 'Handful' Grimké, a young slave girl who becomes her unlikely friend. As their bond deepens, they must confront the harsh realities of slavery and the world around them. Through its powerful portrayal of sisterhood and friendship against all odds, The Invention of Wings celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of relationships to shape our lives.
