The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom
4.0
Living so close to much of the book setting was very interesting to me. The plot was only a 3 star to me though. The characters were engaging enough to bring it to a 4 star review for me.
I guess my biggest issue is why Lavinia didn't kill Marshall herself! Why did she let him do those horrible things to her family? That really bothered me. She was letting him sell them off, beat them, and kill them. I don't understand why she couldn't have slipped enough of the opium into a drink of his to poison him. She had enough of it! Why didn't the slaves? They killed the tutor and hid it.
