The Invention of Wings is a very exquisitely written novel, a novel where storytelling is everything. Perhaps, the best thing about this novel is that the author referred to a real, historical person of Sarah Grimke, and did a fine job in combining events of Sarah’s real life and fictional events, which were written in order to make everything even more interesting. We follow the life of Hetty through the course of thirty five years, as she struggled for freedom and destiny, which was very often filled with estrangement, guilt and sorrow. She received her gift, and as her gift, she got Hetty, a ten-year-old girl, who was intended to be her handmaid. Kidd’s novel begins on the eleventh birthday of Sarah Grimke. The novel itself is about a girl named Hetty (nicknamed ‘Handful’) and her troubled life as a slave in the early nineteenth century in Charleston, where Hetty is desperately wanting and waiting for a better life than the one she lives now. The Invention of Wings is a book written by Sue Monk Kidd. The Invention Of Wings: An Incredible Summary!
