Florile soarelui – Martha Hall Kelly

£10.20

Cand infloreste liliacul, bestsellerul vandut in milioane de exemplare al Marthei Hall Kelly, a prezentat-o cititorilor pe Caroline Ferriday. Acum, in Florile soarelui, Kelly spune povestea stramoasei lui Ferriday, Georgeanna Woolsey, o asistenta medicala unionista din timpul Razboiului Civil din Statele Unite, si a intalnirilor care ii schimba destinul.
Pentru Georgeanna “Georgey” Woolsey, lumea petrecerilor fastuoase si atitudinea simandicoasa a femeilor din societate nu inseamna nimic.
Asadar, atunci cand razboiul cuprinde natiunea, Georgey devine asistenta medicala si porneste intr-o adevarata aventura alaturi de sora ei, Eliza, de la New York la Washington, D.C. si apoi la Gettysburg, fiind martorele ororilor de neconceput ale sclaviei, pe masura ce se implica in efortul de razboi.
 In Sud, Jemma este sclava pe plantatia Peeler din Maryland, unde locuieste impreuna cu mama si tatal ei.
Sora ei, Patience, este sclava pe plantatia de alaturi si amandoua traiesc cu frica lui LeBaron, un supraveghetor abuziv care le urmareste fiecare miscare.
Cand apar primii soldati unionisti, Jemma este vanduta de stapana cea cruda a plantatiei, Anne-May, dar intrevede o sansa de a scapa de sclavie – cu pretul abandonarii familiei pe care o iubeste.
Inspirata din fapte reale, Florile soarelui ofera o privire vie si detaliata asupra experientei razboiului civil, de la viata barbara si inumana a sclavilor de pe plantatii la New Yorkul devastat de razboi si la ororile petrecute pe campul de lupta. Este o poveste despre curajul femeilor captive intr-o tara in prag de dezastru, care se lupta pentru o viata mai buna si mai echitabila pentru toti, indiferent de rasa sau origine sociala.
De la spioanele sudiste la asistentele medicale de pe front, Florile soarelui tese o poveste cu personaje feminine extraordinare, hotarate sa schimbe modelul lumii in care traiesc. Calatoria Jemmei si cea a surorilor Woolsey ii va face pe cititori sa le aprecieze pe cele care, cu ani in urma, au luptat pentru dreptate si au devenit adevarate pioniere ale timpului lor. – Lisa Wingate
