The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd

Another great read by SMK – as good as her first (the secret life of Bees) and better than her second (the Mermaid’s chair) – great characters, great story and a mix of historical fact and fiction – how does it get better! Sarah – rich southern belle and Hetty – a slave on Sarah’s family’s plantation – the two become unwitting friends/allies in a totally believable way …
