Embers on the Wind
Embers on the Wind | Lisa Williamson Rosenberg
7 posts | 4 read | 2 to read
The past and the present converge in this enthralling, serpentine tale of women connected by motherhood, slavery's legacy, and histories that span centuries. In 1850 in Massachusetts, Whittaker House stood as a stop on the Underground Railroad. It's where two freedom seekers, Little Annie and Clementine, hid and perished in a fire. Whittaker House still stands, and Little Annie and Clementine still linger, their dreams of freedom unfulfilled. Now a fashionably distressed vacation rental in the Berkshires, Whittaker House draws seekers of another kind: Black women who only appear to be free. Among them are Dominique, a single mother following her grandmere's stories to Whittaker House in search of an ancestor; Michelle, Dominique's lover, who has journeyed to the Berkshire Mountains to heal her own traumas; and Kaye, Michelle's sister, a seer whose visions reveal the past and future secrets of the former safehouse--along with her own. For each of them, true liberation can come only from uncovering their connection to history--and to the spirits awaiting peace and redemption within the walls of Whittaker House.

This won‘t be for everybody but it worked for me. I‘d call it historical fiction with a paranormal contemporary thread. It bounces around in the contemporary part which can leave you feeling a little disoriented but I think that works for the feeling of this book. Strong sense of place with all the threads connected to the same house which took on a life of its own.

Too creepy for my taste! A story evolving around a house and those who died during escape from slavery at the house and parallelly (is that a word) their descendants in the modern world also often involving death. Interesting concept but I didn‘t really enjoy it.

This was a tough one. While it was a subject i normally like, i found it disappointed and hard to follow. It was confusing and i never really connected with the characters. I kept wondering why i was still reading it.

slategreyskies Oh, I hate when that happens! I‘d had a good streak going and then missed one day as well. Now I‘m trying to build my streak up again. 2y
