The Resurrection of Nat Turner, Part 1: The Witnesses: A Novel by Sharon Ewell FosterMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I'm a fan of Sharon Ewell Foster and I must say, she has done it again.
Reading the book, you feel like you are right there with the characters waiting for the sign. The emotion was so real. Being taken from your land and stripped of your identity is enough to break anybody but not "Nancy." Nat Turner was the product of rape. But that didn't keep her from loving her son. She taught him about his ancestors. He in turn taught her the way the "Americans" were taught. She was livid about the lies and confronted Nat's father. He made promises that were never upheld. Nat Turner was hated by many but he was determined to live out his purpose. If you're a lover of historical fiction, this is definitely the book for you.
Great work Foster! I'm anxious for part two.
