Prairie Lotus is a robust, touching, multilayered novel a couple of woman decided to slot in and understand her goals: getting an training, turning into a dressmaker in her father’s store, and making at the least one good friend.
Acclaimed, award-winning writer Linda Sue Park has positioned a younger half-Asian woman, Hanna, in a small city in America’s heartland, in 1880. Hanna’s adjustment to her new environment, which primarily means negotiating the townspeople’s virtually unanimous prejudice towards Asians, is on the coronary heart of the story.
Narrated by Hanna, the novel has poignant moments but sparkles with humor, introducing a fascinating heroine whose wry, observant voice will resonate with readers. Includes an afterword from the writer.
This shifting historic novel is from Newbery Medalist Linda Sue Park, whose beloved center grade books embrace A Single Shard and A Long Walk to Water.
