The Invention of Wings, by Sue Monk Kidd did not disappoint. Like her book, The Secret Life of Bees the story takes place in the Deep South at a time when slavery is a natural way of life. I loved the way she alternated between the voices of Sarah (the rich slave owner’s daughter) and Handful (Sarah’s slave) in a way that we hear the thoughts and feelings of both girls as they experience life on the same piece of earth but in such a drastically different way. I loved Handful and her strength to keep her mind free even though her body had few liberties. Sometimes I loved Sarah but other times she really annoyed me. She lived so many years without the courage to stand up for what she believed, but perhaps she needed those years to strengthen her character in order to accomplish her achievements later in her life.
