Fascinating story of Ottilie Assing; a white German lady and her relationship and love for Frederick Douglass. a runaway slave.By CustomerThis book took me by surprise as I was not expecting it to be as good as it was. I was doing research on the women in Frederick Douglass' life when I saw this book. Wow! What a find! One of those books that you cannot put down because it is SO well written and so interesting. It is essentially a book about Ottilie Assing; the brilliant; radical; abolitionist German lady who helped make Frederick Douglass an international figure. Her life is described in detail; starting from the time she was born in Hamburg. It follows her through her life journey; arriving in New York; meeting Frederick Douglass and living in his home; with his wife and children; for 22 summers. Diedrich describes in detail the shared intellectual and cultural interests of Ottilie and Frederick; while the reader; like myself; wonder about the difficulty of the black wife who has a white German women living in her home. And there is the mystery that is not understood. Why did Frederick not marry Ottilie after his wife died; instead choosing another white woman; 20 years younger. Fascinating; painful; profound story in 19th century America. A must read!2 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Tiny font size/print sucks!By CloriThe writing is good but the print is so tiny I require a magnifier to read it. I would like a refund or an exchange of a book with an adequate font size.0 of 7 people found the following review helpful.
