Product description

The No. 1 New York Times bestseller.

A powerful and extraordinary novel about two exceptional women during a time of brutal slavery in the Deep South, by the celebrated author of the multi-million-copy-bestselling novel *The Secret Life of Bees*.

“Fascinating.”

A splendid tribute to a pair of true heroines’ The Times ‘Wonderful—well-written, moving, and engaging by turns, and always compelling’ Daily Mail ‘A remarkable novel that heightened my sense of what it meant to be a woman—slave or free’ Oprah Winfrey ‘A resonant, illuminating novel’ Observer Sarah Grimke is the middle daughter.

The one her mother calls difficult and her father calls remarkable.

On Sarah’s eleventh birthday, Hetty “Handful” Grimke is taken from the slave quarters she shares with her mother, wrapped in lavender ribbons, and presented to Sarah as a gift.

Sarah knows what she does next will unleash a world of trouble.

She also knows she cannot accept her.

And so, indeed, the trouble begins.

A powerful, sweeping novel, inspired by real events and set in the American Deep South in the nineteenth century, *The Invention of Wings* evokes a world of shocking contrasts—of beauty and ugliness—where righteous people live daily with cruelty they fail to recognize

and celebrates the power of friendship and sisterhood against all odds.

What readers are saying about *The Invention of Wings*: “You cannot fault Sue Monk Kidd’s writing

she very adeptly speaks with both Sarah’s and Handful’s voices.

The scenes she paints are vivid, compelling, and haunting

this is not a novel I will easily forget.” Goodreads reviewer, 5 stars: “I wasn’t expecting this book to tug at my heartstrings the way it did.” Goodreads reviewer, 5 stars: “The interweaving of fact and fiction into a powerful novel exploring the abolition of slavery, women’s aspirations in 19th-century America, love, family, betrayal, and hope for a better future makes for compelling reading.” Amazon reviewer, 5 stars: “Unforgettable.”

This book was completely and utterly dynamic.

From the first word to the last, I was enthralled by Sarah and Handful.

So powerful' Goodreads reviewer, 5 stars
