We promise we didnt pick this just because Oprah has picked this for her relaunched bookclub!! We loved it best of all the new January titles.
The Twelve Tribes of Hattie is a really powerful book that takes the form of a chapter about each of her children. In a way it is a really unique novel in that each chapter is almost a short story with the common theme running through being Hattie Shepherd and each childs connection with their mother.
The book spans from the 1920s Northern America to the 1980s when her children are all adults and she has moved into middle age. There is real emotion in this book as it depicts the tragedies that this family endure through the years in America. There are moments of heartbreak and real tears. Mathis has written a compelling and emotive debut that we thoroughly recommend.
