Best-selling Author Lalita Tademy Discusses Her Latest Novel "RED RIVER"
In her second novel, RED RIVER, Lalita Tademy weaves together history and the story of her own family to bring us an epic work of fiction, the dramatic, intertwining story of two families struggling to make a place for themselves in an America deeply divided after the Civil War. A unique accomplishment, this is the history never before told, brought to life through the unforgettable lives of three generations of African American husbands and wives, parents and children. A saga of violence, courage, and most of all, dreams broken, repaired and strengthened over time, Red River explores issues that resonate to this day....as it illuminates the sometimes heartbreaking choices we all must make to claim the legacy that is ours.Tademy's first novel, CANE RIVER was based on the lives of four generations of colored Creole slave women in Louisiana, women from whom she descended. Cane River was a testament to the strength of those who came before, a blend of fact and fiction, homage, but hopefully a good, fast, exciting read. Fortunately, Oprah Winfrey thought so, and she selected the novel as her summer book pick in 2001.
