DESCRIPTION:
Very good story,with a different side of slavery. I found the book very enjoyable, I looked forward to it each day. It was not the usual cruel plantation owner type who beats,starves and rapes, but a compassionate,fair, master The authors own feelings of empathy,loyalty,sympathy,and relationships are strongly reflected in the characters. Another aspect of the book I enjoyed were the details of the whole process of growing rice and also indigo. Death in the book was shown to affect the characters in such a lovely way, not morbid. Beautiful story Beautifully takes you into the daily lives of Sammie and Eliza and the relationship they shared. I enjoyed the detailed descriptions and character development. I am intrigued that some of the characters were real people.
Blues of the soul is an historic novel. Open ours hearts just a little wider this is what Blues of the soul is about!Blue like the bruises of destiny, blue like hope, blue the color of indigo. When Eliza was sixteen she became manager of her father’s three plantations, took care of her younger sister and her dying mother. But the purpose of the book is for the reader to be carried away in a different time where the human’s feelings where not so different, to be touched by the characters’ humanity, to experience emotion and compassion, to feel the sorrow and the joie de vivre, and to be moved.. She was a remarkable woman
