Ebook About Kathleen Grissom, New York Times bestselling author of the highly anticipated Glory Over Everything, established herself as a remarkable new talent with The Kitchen House, now a contemporary classic. In this gripping novel, a dark secret threatens to expose the best and worst in everyone tied to the estate at a thriving plantation in Virginia in the decades before the Civil War.Orphaned during her passage from Ireland, young, white Lavinia arrives on the steps of the kitchen house and is placed, as an indentured servant, under the care of Belle, the master’s illegitimate slave daughter. Lavinia learns to cook, clean, and serve food, while guided by the quiet strength and love of her new family. In time, Lavinia is accepted into the world of the big house, caring for the master’s opium-addicted wife and befriending his dangerous yet protective son. She attempts to straddle the worlds of the kitchen and big house, but her skin color will forever set her apart from Belle and the other slaves. Through the unique eyes of Lavinia and Belle, Grissom’s debut novel unfolds in a heartbreaking and ultimately hopeful story of class, race, dignity, deep-buried secrets, and familial bonds.Book The Kitchen House: A Novel Review :
On starting this book I believed I was really going to enjoy it. The theme of the slave trade and the effects that trade had on the lives of both masters and victims has always fascinated me. I also love historical fiction with a wide scope. So I began reading with high hopes of a new 'Gone with the Wind'.Lavinia's arrival at the big House, her loss of family, her terror at her new surroundings, her lack of coping mechanisms at age 7 were all too credible. I thought I was hooked...... then the story began to descend into melodrama, and ended up as a soap opera to rival any episode of 'The Bold and the Beautiful'!We had child and female abuse, rape, incest, paedophilia, homosexuality, drug dependence, sickness and madness; then murder by knifing, whipping, shooting and hanging. The illegitimate children became so numerous that by the end of the story I was losing track of which child belonged to which mother and could not recall those that had died (several had).... all this packaged into one story. In addition, all the white women in the story were spineless, and all the coloured slaves courageous and loyal to a fault.What a pity such a promising idea deteriorated into chaos. I was not even moved emotionally by all the sorrowful happenings, I was just in overload wondering what horrific events were waiting in the wings for both the characters in the novel.... and the readers.A disappointing read after all the hype! I have read many historical fiction novels of plantation life and "Master" / "Slave" relationships, however this is the first that I have read where one of the slaves (indentured servants) was not a descendent of Africa, andI found this component intriguing.This story is told in alternating voices of House Slave, Belle in even numbered chapters and Indentured Servant, Lavina in odd numbered chapters. Lavina is brought to the plantation after the death of her parents on a ship, by the Ship's Captain who owns a tobacco plantation. There is mystery and mayhem at every turn and many surprises (I'm no spoiler)Even though it is a well-known and often relayed part of "OUR" history; as an African-American, it is still difficult for me to read about the slave brutality and abuse, when written by an Anglo Author.The overall story is good for the historical fiction lover.
