The Kitchen House describes the story of a white servant (Lavinia) on a plantation in the deep south of the US. It explores her relationship with the black slaves and the white landowners, as well as her inability to fit comfortably within either society. This book was well written and I made my way through it quite quickly. I did find the character of Lavinia to be a bit weak at times, but this didn't detract too much from the book. It's still worth picking up! 4/5 stars
