Wonderland Book Club

Co-sponsored by the NC Writers Network

 

This month's bookclub we have author Nancy Peacock and her book The Life and Times of Persimmon Wilson

Nancy Peacock Let’s welcome back to Wonderland author and writing teacher Nancy Peacock who is excited to discuss with us her most recent novel, The Life and Times of Persimmon Wilson.

An ex-slave named Persimmon Wilson awaits his hanging for  the murder of the man who once owned him. As he waits, he pens his story. The journey of Persimmon Wilson takes the reader from the brutality of slavery on a Louisiana sugar plantation to a ranch on the Texas frontier to life among the Comanche Indians. All through his travels, Wilson seeks the one person he loves, a light-skinned house slave named Chloe. When he finds her, she is passing for white and is the wife of their former master.

This is a rip-roaring, old-fashioned adventure romance. It is also a serious examination of assumptions about identity and truth.
