What is Sally Hemings: A Novel (Rediscovered Classics) about?

<p>One of the greatest love stories in American history is also one of the most controversial. Thomas Jefferson had a mistress for 38 years whom he loved and lived with until he died—the beautiful and elusive Sally Hemings. But it was not simply that Jefferson had a mistress that provoked such a scandal in both his time and ours. It was that Sally Hemings was a quadroon slave and that Jefferson fathered a slave family whose descendants are alive today. In this moving novel, originally published in 1979 and having sold over two million copies worldwide, Barbara Chase-Riboud re-creates one of America’s most powerful love stories, based on the documents and evidence of the day, and gives us a poignant, tragic, and unforgettable meditation on the history of race and sex in America.</p> <p>A national bestseller with more than 1 million copies sold, Sally Hemings now comes to trade paperback for the first time. Barbara Chase-Ribould tells the touching story of the love affair between Thomas Jefferson and his beautiful quadroon slave. Winner of the Janet Heidinger Kafka Prize for best novel by an American woman. </p>
