House Is on Fire | Rachel Beanland

Such a wonderful #HF story about the 1811 Richmond Theatre Fire that killed 72 people mostly women. The story begins with the fire and then the aftermath following a handful of survivors. Ripe for bookclub discussion, I couldn‘t turn the pages quick enough. I appreciated the addition of the Author‘s Note which gave more context. This book touches on the cruelty of slavery, society struggles between men & women and preconceived idea of heroism.

I‘m really enjoying this #HF based on JPMorgan‘s personal librarian, Belle Costa de Green, a black woman passing for white in the early years of the twentieth century. Robin Miles is one of my favorite narrators. #52Books #BooksOnTheCover

I really enjoyed this #HF narrative about the early settlers who established Plymouth Rock. Interesting multiple POVs from the governor‘s wife to an indentured slave/ land owner. Audio was excellent. Excited to join the #LiteraryCrew discussion 🤓

Librarybelle So glad you liked this! 2y
