Red River Lalita Tademy Oprah featured book Cane River- Hodder Headline

Reviewer Mia Morris

When Red River came out� we were swept away by the share beauty and scale of this book , this is similar to its� much awaited� companion� Cane River which told� the story of Lalita’s� mother family’s experience of slavery.

�In Red River this epic journey tell’s her father’s family� told through the main protagonist book Sam the son of a runaway slave from the deep and his wife Polly their story from the� deep .South� Alabama to� Louisana, It begins in 1873 and ends in the 1930’s, you get a great insight into what happened across�� four generations.

Lalita has thoroughly researched her family archive and shares her findings with us, there are photos, extracts from diaries cross references from census’s and testimony through Lalita’s painstaking search. Those of us who are passionate about writing our own family history and stories, should start with these two books so that you have an appreciation of how you can create and write your story your, own way.

We can not recommend this book enough and is truly a collectors item, a book you� would really read time and time again it is up there with� Alex Haley Roots and� Margaret Walker’s� book Jubilee.
