“A mother-daughter story of
reinvention-----about an African
American woman who unexpectedly inherits a sugarcane farm in Louisiana.”
American woman who unexpectedly inherits a sugarcane farm in Louisiana.”
Queen
Sugar, is a great novel written by Natalie Baszile. The focus of the novel is Charley Bordelon
who inherited eight hundred acres of sugarcane land from her late father in
Louisiana. Charley and her daughter
(Micah) moved from Los Angeles to rural Louisiana to live in a house with her
grandmother. Charley arrived in
Louisiana just in time for planting season. It was an overwhelming challenge
for Charley, and her daughter as well as for her troubled brother (Ralph
Angle).
The
book Queen Sugar is very different from the TV Series. According to the TV Series, Charley's father
left the eight hundred acres to all three of his children. In the TV Series Charley has a sister, (Nova)
and a brother (Ralph Angel). Also, Remy is
a black farmer and a college professor. In the book he is a white
man. Most of the characters in the book
are different than the ones in the TV Series. This book is enjoyable that I highly recommend reading.
