The story is set in south caroline, during the time where theres still conflict between the white people and black people. Black people were mostly slaves to those white people. They were even barred from most restaurant, churches. Women's standard at that time was very low, sending them off to colleges seemed like a waste of money. They hold classes for women on how to pluck their eyebrow, how to take iff their gloves, how to shave, how to sit preperly
Okay so ive iust finished reading this book and to be honest, i wish the ending was different. I felt that lily deserved the love of a father. I wished that T.Ray had somehow love her in his own ways. Wventhough hes always mad at lily, asking her to do this and that, never showed her a simple act of love.... However, towards the end, i know that T.Ray, at one point in his life, he did love Lili's kother. But due to the society at that time, he was shaped to be man of that time. Feeling superior, seeing women as their servannts. Hes indeed tha.product of the society at that time. Then when deborah left, he was lost. Thinking that she dis not respect her as her husband. She has no right to leave hik alone and that was when he started to resent her. To make things worse, when the fight occurrd between t ray and deborah, Lili accidentally shot her own kother and inguess. That was when t ray developed hateed towards his own daughter. Maybe he treated lily that way because of this sole reason. Maybe he was mad at lily for taking is wife away. Mornbetter yet, m somehow he saw deborah inclily and h was afraid that his daughter would leave him like his wife once dis.
I dint know. I just feel sad for kucy. She had to bear the hurtful truth. As it was indeed her who accidentally shot deborah. And it was not easy to acept that and remembering the fact dor the rest of her life
