She doesn’t know when she’ll get to leave to see him again and it breaks her heart. Mattie is a brand new mother to a three-month old son when she’s called away into the big house. ![]() This is a story of the harsh realities of slavery and the unlikely bonds that were still able to be made. The book moves across time fairly quickly in the sense that when it begins, Lisbeth is just about to be born and when it ends, she’s a young woman about to be married. This is set in the mid 1800s in Virginia and is told from two perspectives: that of Mattie, and enslaved woman turned wet-nurse, and Lisbeth, the young girl that Mattie wet-nursed for. If you’ve followed the blog for awhile now, you know that I’m really into anything that touches on slavery–it’s just a time in history that I have a lot of personal interest in. ![]() ![]() I decided to switch gears with genres and go with some historical fiction (a theme that I think is gonna stick for a while) for my next read–so I give you Yellow Crocus. ![]()
