Book Reviews of Sarny
Book Review: An historical civil war tale
Summary: 4 Stars
I recently read a novel about another woman from the same era in Band of Angels (Voices of the South).
The prose of a black teacher from that time is different than the Robert Penn Warren romance, but the ideas of how people were treated in that time if they were thought of as being colored is similar.
I had trouble starting this book, but once into it the novel is a pleasant and rapid read.
Book Review: I loved it.
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this book. It gives you a very good example of what it was like during that time period and it is a real attention grabber.Book Review: Sarny
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed Sarny. I never realized the horrible things the slave owners did to their slaves. I was glad when the young soldier shot Sarny's slave owner. That was terrible of him to sell her children especially when the war was almost over. I didn't think she would ever find her children. It was quite a quest to go on to walk to New Orleans. I was shocked when Sarny's second husband was killed because Sarny started a school for the ex-slaves. It was good of Sarny to use her talent of teaching and use them. I'm glad that Miss Laura gave a lot of her money to Sarny. I didn't realize she was So rich. I think Sarny did a good job of saving and spending her money. A lot of people would have wasted it right away but she was wise. I really enjoyed this book. It really brings you up to terms at what really happened to the slaves during and after the war.Book Review: Sarny

We really enjoyed this book. It was very emotional in some parts and very funny. It gives people the chance to see what it was like to be a slave and to change dramatically in one day. We give this book 4 stars out of 5.
