Book: The Good Lord Bird by James McBride
It was coincidence that just two weeks ago, while visiting our friends did we hear about a place called Harpers Ferry. They did mention it a few months ago too that they liked going there for the scenic beauty. In passing they mentioned the place also has some history but before they could describe that any further, we were usually interuppted by one of our kids asking for something.
I had meant to look it up. And it so happened I randomly picked up The Good Lord Bird: A Novel by James McBride. Never heard of the book nor the writer before. I just started reading.
Amazing book! Never knew! Never read from this perspective nor of this era. I had to look up Old Brown and curious to see if he was for real! Oh my! He was! Didn't realise it was historic fiction.
I felt I was transformed to another world. It was exhausting though after a while. I remember after a week in Holland, I was dreaming in Dutch. It was exhausting and was so ready to go home. This book made me feel like that. It felt like I was in a different country, culture, immersed in a different language! Done very well! Really enjoyed it!
