The Catbird Seat by Rebecca Hollingsworth
Set in South Carolina (the story of) slavery, confederate flag (symbolism of) and racism in the South. Told in alternating chapters from the past to present. The past (graphically) details life as a slave owner and slave. The present a (white) woman researching the history of a Slave owner.
The story moves at a steady pace with attention to detail. I found The Catbird Seat emotionally charged (and) often hard to read, when learning how African Americans were/are treated in the South. I was also surprised how (white) people in this area feel/felt about The Confederate flag and people of color. A thought-provoking read.
