The Invention of Wings is a powerful, sweeping novel set in the American South in the first half of the nineteenth century. At its heart is the story of two women: Hetty 'Handful' Grimke, an urban slave, and Sarah Grimke, daughter of a rich slave-owning family. Inspired in part by the historical figure of Sarah Grimke, who campaigned throughout her life against slavery, this exquisitely written, shocking, insightful and haunting novel is a triumph of storytelling, chronicling one of the most terrible episodes of human history through characters whose struggles for liberation, empowerment and expression will leave no reader unmoved.
