A review by camille_jmu
The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom

4.0

I wish I could give this book 4.5 starts instead of 4. I think the book was well written.... Great character development and world building. Since I live in Virginia, it's easy to visualize the places she mentions, like the plantations and the buildings in Williamsburg. I didn't like the end of the book that much. I was often sad or frustrated as some scenes did not seem realistic to me. Seems that everything that could possibly go wrong, did. However, you don't have to agree with every part of the story being told to enjoy the book. Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys historical fiction, as this was one of my favorites. It is certainly my most enjoyable read this year.
