Henry and Rachel
Henry and Rachel | Laurel Saville
1 post | 1 read
Brought to live with the George family as a child, all anyone knew about enigmatic Rachel was that she worked hard, making herself indispensable to the plantation. And she remained a mystery until the day she disappeared, even to her husband. Especially to her husband. Henry was Rachel's opposite, gregarious where she was quiet, fanciful where she was pragmatic. After years of marriage, Rachel left Henry and their oldest son without explanation and set off on a steamer for New York City with their otherfour children. Was her flight the ultimate act of betrayal or one of extraordinary courage? Eight characters connected by blood and circumstance reconstruct Rachel's inexplicable vanishing act.

Mehso-so

The writing was beautiful, but annoyingly repetitive. If Saville had cut out 100 pages or so the book would have been better. As for the characters, the only ones I liked were Henry and Vea. Everyone else was cold and mean.
