The Kitchen House (Paperback)

I recommend the novel THE KITCHEN HOUSE by Kathleen Grissom. This novel, like THE HELP, does important work: it factors in the experience not only of African-Americans under enslavement, but of poor white Europeans, who, during the same period of American history, were often indentured. * Alice Walker, author of The Color Purple and Pulitzer Prize winner *
The plantation's social order's emphasis on violence, love, power, and corruption provides a trove of tension and grit, while the many nefarious doings will keep readers hooked to the twisted, yet hopeful, conclusion. * Publishers Weekly *
A heart-breaking novel set on a 1790s Virginia plantation. A page-turning romantic tragedy. * ASOS magazine, April 2013 *
A powerful, well written story that doesn't pull any punches. * Choice, April 2013 *
a potent picture of servant life in plantation America. * Sainsburys Magazine *
