Mirror Girls is an expertly woven tale. Multiracial twins, one born white and the other born black, are separated weeks after their births.
Seventeen years later, Charlie accompanies her dying Nana back to Eureka, Georgia. Raised in New York City, Charlie is no stranger to segregation. She is shocked to see how different life is for blacks south of the Mason-Dixon Line.
Magnolia is called to the bed of her dying grandmother. Here she learns that she has been living a lie. Her mother was a black maid working at the plantation house when she fell in love with the plantations heir. Magnolia now has a choice- continue pretending to be white or embrace her black heritage.
The twins' reunion is complicated by a curse, ghostly messages, and an upcoming protest.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a glimpse life under Jim Crow.
