Why read it?
1 author picked The Book of Lost Friends as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is another story of Reconstruction in the Deep South but told from a very different angle.
Three girls, the master’s daughter, his mulatto offspring, and his former slave who seeks to buy her small parcel of land, are totally dependent on the man for their futures, but he has disappeared into Texas.

I could not wait for the author to continue telling their tale.
From Lynn's list on historical novels picked by a librarian.
