Because in this book, we read not just about the lives of two girls (women later), but we also read about a darkness in American history, the female struggle for freedom and liberation, something that will leave no reader unmoved. The Invention of Wings is very exquisitely written novel, a novel where storytelling is everything. Kidd did a fine job of combining real-life events with fictional events, which were written in order to make everything even more interesting. Maybe the best thing about this novel is that the author used a real, historical person, Sarah Grimke, when writing this novel. The novel follows Hetty's life over the course of thirty-five years, including her longing for freedom and her destiny, which is very often filled with estrangement, guilt and sorrow. She received Hetty, a ten-year-old girl, as a gift, to be her handmaid. Kidd's novel begins on Sarah Grimke's eleventh birthday. It is about a girl named Hetty (nicknamed "Handful") Grimke and her troubled life as a slave in early nineteenth century Charleston, where Hetty is desperately waiting for a better life than the one she lives now.
