I had heard good things about Kaye Gibbons, but I have now read two of her books (Sights Unseen and Charms for the Easy Life) and neither one really did anything for me. Therefore, I'm going to go ahead and let this one go unread so someone else can enjoy it.
Reserving for the General Literature VBB.
Description from Amazon:
"Emma Garnet Tate Lowell, a plantation owner's daughter, grows up in a privileged lifestyle, but it's not all roses. Her family's prosperity is linked to the institution of slavery, and Clarice, a close and trusted family servant, exposes Emma to the truth and history of their plantation and how it brutally affected the slave population.
Her father, Samuel P. Tate, has an aggressive and overpowering persona that intimidates many people -- including Emma. But she refuses to conform to his ideals and marries a prominent young doctor. Together they face the horrors of the Civil War, nursing wounded soldiers, as Emma begins the long journey toward her own recovery from the terrible forces that shaped her father's life."
