About This Item
Headline, 2001. Paperback. Very Good. Lalita Tademy's riveting family saga Cane River chronicles four generations of women born into slavery along the Louisiana river. It is a tale about t he blurring of racial boundaries: great-grandmother Elisabeth notices an un mistakable "bleaching of the line" as first her daughter Suzette, then her granddaughter Philomene and finally her great-granddaughter Emily choose (o r are forcibly persuaded) to bear the illegitimate offspring of the area's white French planters. In many cases these children are loved by their fath ers, and their paternity is widely acknowledged. However, neither state law nor local custom allows them to inherit wealth or property, a fact that gi ves Cane River much of its narrative drive. the Times `... this excellent novel... a moving tribute to the force of love and the unseverable connection of family ties'.
