The Invention of Wings


Reviewed by Em & Val, Balgowlah

Based on the lives of the Grimke sisters, suffrogettes abnd civil rights activists who betrayed their sourthern upbringing and joined the abolisionist cause, and the life of their maid and family slave Hetti 'handful'. A power story of standing up for what is right , of conscious and consequence. Heartbreaking and hopeful all at once.

- Em

Inspired by real events and set in nineteenth century American dee south, this book keeps you turning the pages with inspiring characters you want to meet. A story of impossible friendship and sisterhood against the odds in changing times. Loved it!
