5/21/2023 0 Comments Indigo by Beverly Jenkins![]() ![]() After being extra grumpy for a few days during his recuperation, Galen is captivated by Hester’s poise, strength, kindness, and courage of conviction. The rest of the year, he’s Galen Vachon, a very wealthy man of mulatto/Creole heritage who can pass as white as needed (please note: mulatto is a dated term). For a chunk of each year, he disappears and becomes the “Black Daniel,” a well-known and admired conductor on the Underground Railroad. Galen and Hester meet when Galen is brought to her because her house is a station on the Underground Railroad, and he had been badly beaten while conducting escaped slaves. Let’s focus (she says to herself, not very optimistically). His issues are these: he primarily doesn’t take no for an answer (there’s an unequal match situation going on), and spends ridiculous amounts of money (because of course he does, Hester is the uniquest, and he’s going to spoil her). ![]() I actually thought that Galen was a remarkably non-alpha hero considering how old the book is and how much money he has. You will be getting captivated hero, magic vagina virgin sex – this book was written before the year 2000. ![]() ![]() It was also written in 1996, so please hang up your expectations about woke, cinnamon roll heroes at the door. One of my goals for this year was to read Indigo…so I did. ![]()
