The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom
3.0
An entertaining book with some flaws
The book captured and held my attention, but it contained flaws and fell into some tropes regarding slavery and relationships between white landowners and other whites. There was of course the benevolent master who owned the plantation and later a benevolent overseer who contrasted with the evil son of the plantation owner and overseer. Also, the use of the term servant v slave was inappropriate.
