‘At the end of the line’ is the story of ‘Beanie’ and ‘Liddie’- Two widely distinct women, desperate circumstances and an unlikely friendship.The story takes place in the initial stages of the civil rights movement when black and white together were still a taboo. Although I am not an American and did not have much knowledge of the same, but reading this heart moving tale made me feel as though I was present there, watching the daily struggles for equality that the blacks had to go through.I really liked Beanie’s (Beatrice) character. Married at a young age and regularly abused, she is a fighter and determined to work towards a cause. Initially I was a bit confused over where ‘Hatie Jean’ fit in, but the end was an emotional revelation!Recommended! Some stories are just meant to stay with you for a long time. :)
