Resumen del Editor
Orphaned during her passage from Ireland, young, white Lavinia arrives on the steps of the kitchen house and is placed, as an indentured servant, under the care of Belle, the master's illegitimate slave daughter. Lavinia learns to cook, clean, and serve food while guided by the quiet strength and love of her new family.
In time Lavinia is accepted into the world of the big house, caring for the master's opium-addicted wife and befriending his dangerous yet protective son. She attempts to straddle the worlds of the kitchen and big house, but her skin color will forever set her apart from Belle and the other slaves.
Through the unique eyes of Lavinia and Belle, Grissom's debut novel unfolds in a heartbreaking and ultimately hopeful story of class, race, dignity, deep-buried secrets, and familial bonds.

Shielded by her mother’s position as the estate’s medicine woman and cherished by the Master’s sister, she is set apart from the others on the plantation, belonging to neither world.

She unexpectedly finds herself thrust into the bowels of slavery at the infamous Devil’s Half Acre.

Lina Meisel, a retired librarian in Florida, is reading the newspaper one morning when she freezes. Her eyes lock on a photograph of a book she hasn’t seen in 65 years - a book she recognizes as The Book of Lost Names. The accompanying article discusses the looting of libraries by the Nazis across Europe during World War II - an experience Lina remembers well - and the search to reunite people with the texts stolen from them so long ago. The book in the photograph is one of the most fascinating cases.

Historia
Folksy and fresh, endearing and affecting, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe is the now-classic novel of two women in the 1980s; of gray-headed Mrs. Threadgoode telling her life story to Evelyn, who is in the sad slump of middle age. The tale she tells is also of two women - of the irrepressibly daredevilish tomboy Idgie and her friend Rut - -who back in the thirties ran a little place in Whistle Stop, Alabama, a Southern kind of Cafe Wobegon offering good barbecue and good coffee and all kinds of love and laughter, even an occasional murder.

It is a novel for everyone, a novel for a lifetime.

Sam Hill always saw the world through different eyes. Born with red pupils, he was called “Devil Boy” or Sam “Hell” by his classmates; “God’s will” is what his mother called his ocular albinism. Her words were of little comfort, but Sam persevered. Sam believed it was God who sent Ernie Cantwell, the only African American kid in his class, to be the friend he so desperately needed. And that it was God’s idea for Mickie Kennedy to storm into Our Lady of Mercy like a tornado, uprooting every rule Sam had been taught about boys and girls. Forty years later, Sam, a small-town eye doctor, is no longer certain anything was by design.

Great story & performance, but summary misleading
While the summary is technically correct, the overwhelming story line without giving too much away is "how to create a monster". The 2 main character story lines were distinct and while somewhat overlapping provided alternate points of view of the same scenes which added depth to the characters. However, the central character that shadowed both story lines is the boy growing into a man/monster. I was not expecting that given the summary provided.
Had it not been for the incredible writing that pulled me into the story and the narrators' fantastic performance and variety of voices, I'm not sure I would have made it through the darkness of the story. The tale was truly gripping, raw, and provided uncomfortably honest examples of life in slavery.

Could not stop listening
I loved this book. I loved the characters in this book, I loved the story this book told. I loved listening to this book, the person who read belles voice was so fun to listen to. Anytime they did one of the southern black accents, I loved it. It was so full of life. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Engaging narrative
The characters were clearly drawn and very easy to visualize. It was easy to see how this fictional work could actually have happened.

Not the typical antebellum novel
This story is full of surprises and does not portray an easy life for any of the characters. The compassion for and understanding of family was keenly expressed and the recognition of class and place within society noted as the story developed. The ability to keep secrets and the various misunderstandings left some of the characters living a sad and lonely existence, but only the hardest hearts were unreconciled as the story concluded.

Excellent
Very much enjoyed this book. Hard topic but well written, had me rooting for heroine and several other sporting characters.
