Présentation de l'éditeur :
Revue de presse :
From National Book Award winner Edward Ball comes The Sweet Hell Inside, the story of the fascinating Harleston family of South Carolina, the progeny of a Southern gentleman and his slave, who cast off their blemished roots and prospered despite racial barriers. Enhanced by recollections from the family's archivist, eighty-four-year-old Edwina Harleston Whitlock -- whose bloodline the author shares. The Sweet Hell Inside features a celebrated portrait artist whose subjects included industrialist Pierre du Pont; a black classical composer in the Lost Generation of 1920s Paris; and an orphanage founder who created the famous Jenkins Orphanage Band, a definitive force in the development of ragtime and jazz.
With evocative and engrossing storytelling, Edward Ball introduces a cast of historical characters rarely seen before: cultured, vain, imperfect, rich, and black -- a family of eccentrics who defied social convention and flourished.
“Ball is a graceful storyteller, deftly weaving individual experience into social and historical trends.” (O Magazine)
“A striking contribution, filling in some important gaps in America’s often uneasy racial dialogue...Ball has done a masterful job.” (Washington Post Book World)
“Excellent (and highly readable)...an absorbing story” (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)
“Impressively researched and fascinatingly told” (The State (Columbia, SC))
One of the top ten nonfiction books of 2001 (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)
“A striking contribution, filling in some important gaps in America’s often uneasy racial dialogue...Ball has done a masterful job. (Washington Post Book World)
“Thoroughly engrossing...Ball’s earlier book, Slaves in the Family, earned him a National Book Award. This one is even better.” (Seattle Times)
