"Yellow Crocus: A Novel" Overview

Moments after her birth to the mistress of a sprawling Virginia plantation, Lisbeth Wainwright is entrusted to Mattie, an enslaved wet nurse. From then on, Mattie serves as Lisbeth's stand-in mother, nursing her, singing her to sleep, and soothing her in the night. And yet mothering Lisbeth tears Mattie away from her own baby, Samuel, who lives in the slave quarters. Growing up under Mattie's tender care, Lisbeth adopts her traditions of prayer, singing, eating black-eyed peas, and hunting for yellow crocuses in the spring. As the years pass, Lisbeth is drawn back into the white world, earning a growing awareness of the inequality of her and Mattie's stations. She struggles to reconcile her love for Mattie with her parents' expectations for her future, intent on keeping the best of both worlds-until a terrible betrayal forces her to choose once and for all. Yellow Crocus is a compelling novel of love, loss, and redemption set during one of the most sinister chapters of American history.

"Yellow Crocus: A Novel" Specifications

There is much to be commended here. The language is chosen carefully and is used well, it supports what is written. The voice of the author shines through strongly, instilling a strong empathy between Mattie and the reader. I am uncertain whether the first-person narrator is as fully fleshed out, because that character is only present for a single paragraph. The themes seem strong and well chosen. From the first, there are clear themes emerging, although the final shape of them is necessarily tenuous at this stage of the book. Provided that the conflicts are well-crafted (and I've no reason to think that they aren't, from what is presented here), the book is a fantastic foundation for a well-told piece of fiction.
