pamiverson 's review for:

The Indigo Girl by Natasha Boyd
4.0

About a young woman in the 1740’s who tried to save her South Carolina planter family by developing indigo as a crop there. Has some interesting reflections on women’s roles then and interactions with the enslaved, but never really acknowledges that what she accomplished was only possible due to their labor. Based on a real woman, Eliza Lucas Pickney. 3.5
