Varina

In lesser hands, there are so many ways this story can go wrong. This bleak fictionalized story about the life of Varina Davis is powerful and thought-provoking, as V deals with the sins of her past as well as the sins of the nation that she helped perpetuate. People often talk about being on the “wrong side of history.” This is the story of such a person, told critically but fairly by a master storyteller.
