I loved this book! It's an engaging story, but more than that - there are some beautiful one-liners, descriptions of the scene or observations on life, that just make you stop and re-read them. For example, "Spanish moss like gauzy gray scarves draped from the bend of each joint - reaching as if there were something they wanted, desperately wanted," and "There were no stars, as if some lamplighter, lazy or drunk, had neglected to light them."I have to admit, the first few chapters were slow . . . and I didn't realize it was historical fiction, so I was confused. Then again. I'm stressed right now and maybe wasn't bringing my "A" game.This book alternates two related stories, chapter by chapter. One chronicles the days leading up to a 1822 slave revolt in Charleston, South Carolina. The other story is modern-day, as a history student whose life is falling apart tries to get to the bottom of the historical evidence.I wish I had read the Author's Note first, where Joy chronicles her journey as she learned about this piece of history and spent time in Charleston. I kept thinking - wait, is this 1822 stuff real? How much of this is real? I would have saved myself some wondering, had I read the Author's Note first!
I think that the elements of a really good book were in here, but they needed more polish, and the author tried to cover too many story lines in one book. It is clear that the author loves Charleston; you can see that in the descriptive words. However, when tributes to the south have already been done so well by authors like Pat Conroy, the bar is set very high. There was some good imagery in there but overall the metaphors fell flat and felt like way too many words. My biggest impression is that this book needed some major editing. Less definitely would have been more. For example, at the end when the boy says "lots", boom, end it right there. It really wasn't necessary to keep on going to tie up the over abundance of plot lines.As for the story itself, you have a despondent twenty-something Kate grieving the loss of her Mother, returning to Charleston to continue her Mother's research work on a little known chapter of black slavery and tragedy. I had trouble with finding empathy for the main character. Yes she was going through a crisis but her character was a bit two dimensional and self absorbed. Without giving it away, her late Mother made a difficult choice in her youth that is eventually revealed. The story also flashes back to 1822, during the time of the blacksmith in her Mother's research. And then, if that wasn't enough, the author also attempted to sandwich in the shooting at the AE Emmanuel church. I am not sure if she was writing the book at the time that the shooting happened and she felt she needed to include it to authenticate her story, but it was just too much ground to cover.I will say that the parts of the book that were in the historical time of 1822 were well done and really gave the reader a sense of being there. It was just the 2015 relationships that rang flat. Maybe I am just old, lol, but I am the same age as Kate's late Mother in the story and the late 80's early 90's were not the dark ages that the author tried to portray. I finished the book because I always finish books that I start, but it was just way too long and over ambitious for me. So its just ok.
I'm so happy that other readers loved this book and hope the author understands that not everyone will feel the same and forgives me for the low rating. For me, this novel was impossible to finish. 20% in, I'm still waiting to connect with any of the characters, to understand what the story is about (yes, I know it's about the Vesey uprising, but that's all) and WHEN the story is going to become interesting. Other readers have said the pace picks up pace after a few chapters, but I cannot read another sentence of this weird jumbled mess.I think if you're a slow, contemplating reader, who likes to re-read sentences a few times to understand where the thought is going, then this book can be OK. If you want cleanly written, edited, intelligent phrases, this is not for you. A couple of examples:"The Grimke girl lowered her voice to the pitch of a man's. "'Your inattention,' your father said at one point, 'to a good Southern breeding. To our way of life,'"The girls laughed--thin, brittle notes that had nothing to do with mirth.They drifted from the piazza inside through the door flung open wide to the night breeze."AND (yes, this is one singe sentence):"She could see her mother bending to push her in a tire swing--the one they'd strung up together from a silver maple in the yard in front of the duplex one bleak Christmas Day in New England, to the neighbors horror--the eighteen-wheeler's tire and a fraying rope visible from the street, where on both sides of the town square, colonial saltbox two-stories marched stiffly, dutifully, their original wooden shutters intact, their original iron boot scrapers still affixed to front stoops."This novel needs to be re-edited and re-released, and at least 1/3 should be cut to make the story stronger and actually readable.
