The Long Shadow

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

ADVANCE PRAISE ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "Beth Kanell's, The Long Shadow, is a beautifully written novel addressing themes of family, friendship, and the fight to end slavery in 1850 Vermont. Readers are transported back to that time of ceaseless women's work in the kitchen and men making the decisions. Protagonist and narrator Alice keenly feels the injustice of her own life and that of slaves being pursued as they travel north toward freedom, and does whatever is in her power to change the status quo. Adults and teens alike will savor this well-researched tale of a teenage girl, her best friend, and their black friend Sarah, who still isn't safe from bounty hunters even in the snow-covered villages of Vermont." --Edith Maxwell, Agatha-nominated author of the Quaker Midwife Mysteries, the Local Foods Mysteries, and the Country Store Mysteries
