NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER'I can t remember when I read anything that moved me quite this way, besides the work of Toni Morrison. Oprah Winfrey'Mathis traces the fates of Hattie s 12 children and grandchildren over the course of the 20th century . . . [it] is remarkable.' Sunday Times'Ms. Mathis has a gift for imbuing her characters stories with an epic dimension that recalls Toni Morrison s writing.' New York TimesFifteen years old and blazing with the hope of a better life, Hattie Shepherd fled the horror of the American South on a dawn train bound for Philadelphia.Hattie s is a tale of strength, of resilience and heartbreak that spans six decades. Her American dream is shattered time and again: a husband who lies and cheats and nine children raised in a cramped little house that was only ever supposed to be temporary. She keeps the children alive with sheer will and not an ounce of the affection they crave. She knows they don t think her a kind woman but how could they understand that all the love she had was used up in feeding them and clothing them. How do you prepare your children for a world you know is cruel? The lives of this unforgettable family form a searing portrait of twentieth century America. From the revivalist tents of Alabama to Vietnam, to the black middle-class enclave in the heart of the city, to a filthy bar in the ghetto, The Twelve Tribes of Hattie is an extraordinary, distinctive novel about the guilt, sacrifice, responsibility and heartbreak that are an intrinsic part of ferocious love.
