The Life in Year ok or not
I didn’t read this of my own choice, but for my book club. Another member chose it. Those who said they loved it said it was because it was such an easy and quick read. If that’s all you require of a novel, this fits the bill.
The character of Aibilene and her relationship with Mae Mobley is the best drawn in the book. I believe that’s because it’s what the author knows best. Her presumption to speak for the maids doesn’t ring true. She is not confident enough to give Hilly any redeeming qualities at all. She’s the villain so she must be completely despicable.
