À propos de cet audio

The House Girl, the historical fiction debut by Tara Conklin, is an unforgettable story of love, history, and a search for justice, set in modern-day New York and 1852 Virginia.

Weaving together the story of an escaped slave in the pre–Civil War South and a determined junior lawyer, The House Girl follows Lina Sparrow as she looks for an appropriate lead plaintiff in a lawsuit seeking compensation for families of slaves. In her research, she learns about Lu Anne Bell, a renowned prewar artist whose famous works might have actually been painted by her slave, Josephine.

Featuring two remarkable, unforgettable heroines, Tara Conklin's The House Girl is riveting and powerful, literary fiction at its very best.

The story is getting more interesting as it progress- the multiple threads among the 1840s slaved artist house girl, her run away; the southern US then; the modern day New York law firm and a young lawyer that explore her dead mother’s past; the underground undertakers , the modern art scenes..... really enjoyed the story. Putting the US affirmative actions in context....

A great story well told
