Page from a Tennessee Journal
Is it snowing where you are? We’re expecting more than a foot here in NYC—so I’m glad I’ve got food in the house and a few good books. The ideal book to curl up with on a snowy day is Page from a Tennessee Journal by Francine Thomas Howard. It’s the story of two couples in 1913 Tennessee whose lives are brought to the brink of violence when the white husband becomes obsessed (or falls in love with?) a desperate black woman who believes she’s been abandoned by her own husband. Many thanks to Susan at Color Online for posting an interview I recently conducted with Francine; you can read an abbreviated interview at the Omnivoracious blog.
