The House is on Fire by Rachel Beanland
4.0
The House is On Fire, is one that shouldn't be missed. This is a story of the horrendous theater fire, in 1811 Richmond. Virginia.
I loved how the author made the characters, many of them based on the lives of real people seem to really capture things you felt in real time. As the theatre goes up in flames, the scenes are those of overwhelming panic. The story comes to life through the involvement of a society widow, two slaves and a 14-year-old orphaned theatre worker, and how their actions changed their lives.
