The Untold Half is a historical novel written by Alien and published in 1899. The story is set in the mid-19th century and revolves around the life of a young woman named Margaret, who is half African-American and half white. Margaret's mother was a slave who was raped by her owner, resulting in Margaret's birth. The novel explores the challenges and discrimination that Margaret faces in a society that is deeply divided by race. Despite being intelligent and talented, Margaret is denied opportunities because of her skin color. She struggles to find her place in the world and to come to terms with her identity.The book also delves into the political and social issues of the time, including the abolition of slavery and the fight for civil rights. It portrays the harsh realities of racism and the struggle for equality in a time when segregation was the norm.Through Margaret's story, the author highlights the importance of acceptance and understanding, and the need to break down the barriers that divide us. The Untold Half is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that sheds light on an important chapter in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
