Description
|
|
|
|
This riveting historical novel imagines the rift between abolitionist Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of Uncle Tom's Cabin, and her sister, the ardent suffragist Isabella Beecher Hooker, over their brother Henry Ward Beecher. Put on trial in 1875 for adultery, Beecher's guilt or innocence was ferociously and very publicly debated, with Harriet supporting him and Isabella demanding that he tell the truth. "Patricia O'Brien has brought the Beecher family back to life. These passionate abolitionists, ardent preachers, and reformers are also touchingly fallible human beings, whose loves, feuds, and scandals provide O'Brien with more than a family drama, but rather the drama of an American era."—Geraldine Brooks
