Not What I Expected, Much Better
I was expecting a little light reading with this one but what I got was a book that challenged my notions of what slavery actually was. I didn't want to like this book, I wasn't sure how I felt about the story of an African American slave being told by a white woman. Kudos to Jennifer Chiaverini on this accomplishment. I think this book changes her status from genre fiction to literature. Of course, it isn't perfect, it can be a little flat in the modern sections but the story of Joanna is entralling and emotional and gritty. This book actually changed how I felt about my own slave ancestors. I went from a place of shame to a place of extreme pride and love for a people who were tortured and suffered and yet still managed to survive and maintain their humanity. If you think "The Help" is good, you might want to give this book a try as well.
Love the historical Chiaverini stories too!
I live to sew and sew to live. I love being able to listen to these wonderful stories of women lives, friendships and challenges while I'm sewing. You really don't need to know how to sew or quilt to appreciate thesae stories. I have also listened while driving and not wanted to get out of the car after an entire day of driving.
What a Wonderful Storyteller is Chiaverini!
This is my second Elm Creek Quilters novel and I am delighted to have found this wonderful storyteller. The Lost Quilter is a story from era of slavery in America that is interesting, entertaining, enlightening, educational and - most of all - absolutely riveting.
I found myself driving to and from work and doing other mundane tasks and then stopping...holding my breath! What will happen next?!?
I cared about the characters.... heck, I even cared about the characters who were horrible! I wanted to know what happened to them. I wanted to hope that Joanna and Titus would succeed in their quest to be free.
The art of quilting is a unifying theme in these books. But the characters and the author's ability to make them come to life is what will bring you back to Elm Creek and the quilters there. (And I don't even quilt!)
I am going to find more of Chiaverini's books to either read or listen to. The narrator did a truly excellent job. I recommend this book most highly.
Jennifer Chiaverini does it again!!!!!
Would you listen to The Lost Quilter again? Why?
Yes I would, over and over
What other book might you compare The Lost Quilter to and why?
there is no comparison.
What does Christina Moore bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?
Her voices of the characters is just right.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
A must see for all Jennifer Chiaverini fans!!!!!
Any additional comments?
I am totally addicted to the Elm Creek Quilters....
