They had rebelled so vocally against their family, society, and their religion that they were reviled, pursued, and exiled from their home city of Charleston, South Carolina, under threat of death. Their crime was speaking out in favor of liberty and equality and for African American slaves and women, arguments too radically humanist even for the abolitionists of their time. Their lectures drew crowds of thousands, even (shockingly, then) men, and their most popular pamphlet directly inspired Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom's Cabin--published 15 years later. These women took many of the first brutal backlashes against feminists and abolitionists, but even their names are barely known now. Sue Monk Kidd became fascinated by these sisters, and the question of what compelled them to risk certain fury and say with the full force of their convictions what others had not (or could not). She discovered that in 1803, when Sarah turned 11, her parents gave her the “human present†of 10-year-old Hetty to be her handmaid, and Sarah taught Hetty to read, an act of rebellion met with punishment so severe that the slave girl died of "an unspecified disease" shortly after her beating. Kidd knew then that she had to try to bring Hetty back to life (“I would imagine what might have been," she tells us), and she starts these girls' stories here, both cast in roles they despise. She trades chapters between their voices across decades, imagining the Grimké sisters’ courageous metamorphosis and, perhaps more vitally, she gives Hetty her own life of struggle and transformation. Few characters have ever been so alive to me as Hetty and Sarah. Long after you finish this book, you'll feel its courageous heart beating inside your own. -- Mari Malcolm Book World: The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd Book World: The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd The inside track on Washington politics Be the first to know about new stories from PowerPost Oprah Talks with Sue Monk Kidd About The Invention of Wings Here's what makes The Invention of Wings extraordinaryand why I am thrilled to announce it as my third selection for Oprah's Book Club 20: Sue Monk Kidd has : The Invention of Wings (9780143121701): Sue The Invention of Wings: A Novel and over one million other books are available for Amazon Kindle Learn more The Invention of Wings - Sue Monk Kidd - Google Books The Invention of Wings: A Novel (Original Publisher's Edition-No Annotations) Sue Monk Kidd Limited preview - 2014 View all The Invention of Wings: Amazoncouk: Sue Monk Kidd Buy The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd (ISBN: 9781472212771) from Amazon's Book Store Free UK delivery on eligible orders Book Review: 'The Invention of Wings' By Sue Monk Kidd : NPR Sue Monk Kidd's new novel The Invention of Wings is a fictionalized account of the abolitionist sisters Sarah and Angelina Grimk and the slave Hetty The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd review Books T he struggle of 19th-century abolitionist and women's rights pioneer Sarah Grimk is at the heart of Sue Monk Kidd's powerful new historical novel The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd - The New York Kidds latest novel The Invention of Wings also set largely in South Carolina involves another unusual duo The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd Reviews Dee Mermaid Chair is more mystical The Invention of Wings is more realistic based on historical facts I liked the the Invention of Wings much better The Invention of Wings - Sue Monk Kidd Reading Groups See Penguins Book Club Kit for additional material The Invention of Wings takes the reader back to the roots of racism in America
