Ebook About The year is 1739. Eliza Lucas is sixteen years old when her father leaves her in charge of their family’s three plantations in rural South Carolina and then proceeds to bleed the estates dry in pursuit of his military ambitions. Tensions with the British, and with the Spanish in Florida, just a short way down the coast, are rising, and slaves are starting to become restless. Her mother wants nothing more than for their South Carolina endeavor to fail so they can go back to England. Soon her family is in danger of losing everything.Upon hearing how much the French pay for indigo dye, Eliza believes it’s the key to their salvation. But everyone tells her it’s impossible, and no one will share the secret to making it. Thwarted at nearly every turn, even by her own family, Eliza finds that her only allies are an aging horticulturalist, an older and married gentleman lawyer, and a slave with whom she strikes a dangerous deal: teach her the intricate thousand-year-old secret process of making indigo dye and in return—against the laws of the day—she will teach the slaves to read.So begins an incredible story of love, dangerous and hidden friendships, ambition, betrayal, and sacrifice.Based on historical documents, including Eliza’s letters, this is a historical fiction account of how a teenage girl produced indigo dye, which became one of the largest exports out of South Carolina, an export that laid the foundation for the incredible wealth of several Southern families who still live on today. Although largely overlooked by historians, the accomplishments of Eliza Lucas influenced the course of US history. When she passed away in 1793, President George Washington served as a pallbearer at her funeral.This book is set between 1739 and 1744, with romance, intrigue, forbidden friendships, and political and financial threats weaving together to form the story of a remarkable young woman whose actions were before their time: the story of the indigo girl.Book The Indigo Girl: A Novel Review :
"The Indigo Girl" is a great example of what I wish all historical fiction could be. Far too often for my patience or taste, I'll start reading something that makes it clear that the author thought all you needed to do was state the year, slap some period clothes on your paper-doll characters, and make a quick trip to Wikipedia, and there you have historical fiction. You don't, and the number of stinkers that have appeared in the genre in recent years has practically ruined historical fiction for me until one like this comes along.Not having known Eliza Pinckney's maiden name (so not recognizing the name Lucas), I actually didn't realize this was about "that" Eliza (whom I know only because I'm a huge American history buff) until about a third of the way through the book when the character started sounding similar to her. Besides knowing that she turned indigo into a major cash crop for the colonies -- an accomplishment that's a LOT more important than it sounds -- I knew nothing about her life.I would have enjoyed the book just as much if it were not based on real life. The love story is beautiful and heart-grabbing without pulling cheap punches like unnecessarily schmaltzy situations or dialogue, and without trying to pander to our present-day voracity for sexuality by having the characters behave in ways they would not have, given the mores of the times. Again, good historical fiction.While I know it has nothing to do with the words that are inside, I like the cover art in that the woman's face is indistinguishable, suggesting that she has more or less faded into history. It's a shame this woman does not more often rate a place among the most vital contributors to early America, male or female. The premise of a teenager in the colonies growing Indigo plants is quite an interesting storyline - however, the actual execution was SO typical. The free-spirited girl ahead of her time. The stuffy, mother who just wants her to get married. The doting but stern father. The loving nanny slave. I found the chapters where the protagonist was conversing with "society" the most insufferable portions of the book. You barely get to see her working on the actual Indigo plants for a tiny portion in the back half even though the author calls out the protagonist's gift for horticulture numerous times.But what I found the MOST egregious was the depiction of slaves. SO many times the protagonist refers to them as "servants" and is set up so that she treats them more like "friends" or even "family." Almost painting it as if the lives of slaves were not that bad, and they were there on their own volition (a "loyal" slave is literally depicted coming back to the plantation when he had a chance to escape). There are "good" slaves who do her bidding and there's a "bad" slave. The protagonist can't for the life of her, figure out why the "bad" slave hates her so much even though she saved her from a beating. It was made to seem that the "bad" slave should've been grateful to the protagonist for treating her like a human, and in the end, the "bad" slave learns her "lesson" (this book literally sets it up so that it seems like the universe punished the "bad" slave through a miscarriage). Just yikes, yikes, YIKES all around.
