The No. 1 New York Times bestseller. THE INVENTION OF WINGS by Sue
Monk Kidd was selected as an Oprah Book Club 2.0 pick on December
10, 2013. From the celebrated author of the international
bestseller The Secret Life of Bees comes an extraordinary novel
about two exceptional women. Sarah Grimke is the middle daughter.
The one her mother calls difficult and her father calls remarkable.
On Sarah's eleventh birthday, Hetty 'Handful' Grimke is taken from
the slave quarters she shares with her mother, wrapped in lavender
ribbons, and presented to Sarah as a gift. Sarah knows what she
does next will unleash a world of trouble. She also knows that she
cannot accept. And so, indeed, the trouble begins ...A powerful,
sweeping novel, inspired by real events, and set in the American
Deep South in the nineteenth century, THE INVENTION OF WINGS evokes
a world of shocking contrasts, of beauty and ugliness, of righteous
people living daily with cruelty they fail to recognise; and
celebrates the power of friendship and sisterhood against all the
odds.
