Autoren-Porträt von Kathleen Grissom
Over the past ten years, Kathleen Grissom and her husband have been restoring an old plantation tavern in Virginia. While researching the plantation's past, Kathleen found an old map on which, not far from their home, was the notation, 'Negro Hill.' Unable to determine the story of its origin, local historians suggested that it most likely represented a tragedy. This became the inspiration behind THE KITCHEN HOUSE. This is Kathleen Grissom's first novel.

Rezension zu „The Kitchen House “
"I recommend the novel THE KITCHEN HOUSE by Kathleen Grissom. This novel, like THE HELP, does important work: it factors in the experience not only of African-Americans under enslavement, but of poor white Europeans, who, during the same period of American history, were often indentured." Alice Walker, author of The Color Purple and Pulitzer Prize winner "The plantation's social order's emphasis on violence, love, power, and corruption provides a trove of tension and grit, while the many nefarious doings will keep readers hooked to the twisted, yet hopeful, conclusion." Publishers Weekly "A heart-breaking novel set on a 1790s Virginia plantation. A page-turning romantic tragedy." ASOS magazine, April 2013 "A powerful, well written story that doesn't pull any punches." Choice, April 2013 "a potent picture of servant life in plantation America." Sainsburys Magazine
