I have just recently purchased the book, as someone that is interested in American history it would be expected that I’ll go and buy every new recommended book that reach the stores, but I have a tendency to to read reviews and to reach books on my own.
It seems that if I would have read
this review and payed attention I could have read it a long time ago, but winning the George Washington Book Prize is a very good reason for me.
“Using the Browns to illustrate competing forces, Rappleye brings the siblings to vivid life,” wrote Newsweek’s Jon Meacham last year for The Times’ Book Review. In “Sons of Providence,” Meacham said, Rappleye presents a well-told story touching on the “perennial issues of race, power, equality and money.”
If you haven’t read the book yet do it now as it is really fascinating and easy to read.
