Description:
"Sister Noon" by Karen Joy Fowler is set in San Francisco during the 1890s, a time when the city is filled with contradictions, blending a respectable middle class with the lingering Wild West spirit that influences the behavior and imaginations of its residents.
The story follows Lizzie Hayes, a seemingly docile and middle-aged spinster who gains praise for her volunteer work with the Ladies' Relief and Protection Society Home, also known as the Brown Ark. Unbeknownst to her, Lizzie is waiting for a spark that will break her free from the constraints of convention.
When Mary Ellen Pleasant, a wealthy and well-connected but ill-reputed woman with a mysterious past and rumored voodoo practices, arrives at the Brown Ark with an orphan, Lizzie is drawn to both of them. It is the enigmatic Mrs. Pleasant who holds the key to unlocking Lizzie's rebellious nature.
Based on real historical figures and events, "Sister Noon" vividly brings to life San Francisco during the gilded age, offering an entertaining, evocative, and somewhat sinister novel. Karen Joy Fowler masterfully explores the complexities of this historical period, blending history and fiction to create a captivating story.
