I'm honestly not a person who would typically go for a historical/Western style novel; however, I loved every single page of The Whip. The story and writing is so engaging, that it was hard to put down every time I started reading it.

The main character, Charley Parkhurst, is so full of emotion and determination that you find yourself feeling all of her ups and downs, and cheering her on as though she were a friend. Her never-ending determination inspires me.

I'm not usually a fan of historical fiction, but my mom recommended it and I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

Kondazian is a very visual writer -- as I read, I was casting the movie in my head. Her characterizations are well-thought out and you get a complete picture of each key player. The way she wrote about Charley's life is poignant and real -- I even cried once (okay, twice).

The Whip, a debut novel by Karen Kondazian was an excellent book! The Whip is historical novel which is based on a woman who lived as a man working as a stagecoach keeper – Charlotte Parkhurst. The Whip was well written and captivating book.

Regarding the plot:

The Whip introduced you to Charlotte who grew up in the orphanage in Massachusetts. Charlotte’s mom abandoned her and she has had a complicated and hard life from very early age. She was abused, beaten and to break her spirit she was sent to the barn. When 16 she moves from orphanage, meets a mysterious man and find love which is unfortunately short. Her husband is lynched and her baby killed.

After moving to the west coast, she tries to make a living there and the only way for her is to do it as a man. She is disguising herself as a man and gets a job as stagecoach driver. She is excellent at her work and is challenged more than once as the story develops.

It is a dramatic novel, filled with action, extraordinary description about Charley’s life as a man. It’s a page-turner and the novel draws you from the first page until you have turned the last page.

Regarding the characters:

Charlotte/Charley is a charismatic and complex person. I think the author has done a wonderful work with the main character. When Charlotte is living like Charley, she has a lot of turmoil with herself and she misses being a woman. Her identity problems also lead her to act like a man – she drinks, talks and walks like a man, so while reading you sometimes tend to forget that he is really a she. At the same time inwardly she is still a woman a desires to be a woman. It’s out of necessity that she has chosen to live her like like a man, not because she wants to. I think she had an extraordinary life and the author has done well by bringing her into a real person. I truly enjoyed reading about her.

Generally:

The Whip by Karen Kondazian was a wonderful novel with lots of drama, action, interesting historical setting and with the main characters that had an extraordinary life. I would highly recommend this book and not only to readers, who love a good historical novel, but to all readers. I loved it!

Is it a poor review that starts “I really don’t know where to begin”? It probably is but it is the truth. There is so much to Karen Kondazian’s historical fiction novel, The Whip, that I don’t know how to get it on to paper.

I know the author doesn’t necessarily have the final say over this sort of thing, and it is a personal preference, but it was disappointing that as I read about Charlotte and her fledgling family I knew in the back of my mind that they were going to be murdered, that it was just a matter of when. I understand that it was revealed to explain why Charlotte travels West in the first place, but such a tragic turning point would have packed a greater punch for me if I had not seen it coming, just as it had taken poor Charlotte by surprise.

With that out of the way, let’s talk about Charlotte. There were some liberties taken in the book, but as with all good historical fiction, they worked to enhance the character and make her come to life in a way that readers can connect with. The most remarkable accomplishment of The Whip is the beautiful exploration of the inner struggles of a woman who, thanks to the strange circumstances of her life, has chosen to live out her life as a man. She is by no means butch, and she is not a woman who desires to be a man rather than a woman, but her desire to revenge her family has driven her to disguise herself. There are several occurrences, particularly her love affair, that make it clear that under her now-gruff exterior still beats the heart of a woman, with feminine sensibilities and desires. On the outside, however, Charlotte becomes all man, shooting whiskey with the best of them, swearing a blue streak, and being somewhat nasty at times. She struggles to cope with this transformation because at times she is more Charley than Charlotte and feels more at home in his body. This gives more poignancy to those times when she allows herself, in privacy, to become a woman again. The emotion in these moments feels very real- something as simple as unwinding the tight cloth that binds her breasts becomes heavily symbolic and yet so easy to relate to. How easy it would be to simply crumble under the weight of such a secret, and yet Charlotte more than succeeded, becoming famous for her incredible stagecoach-driving skills and even killing a famous outlaw to protect her passengers without batting an eye.

Along with her turmoil over who she really is, there is a very interesting exploration of what it would be like to be able to switch back and forth between male and female in such a place as the old West, when gender roles were clearly defined and enforced. Although it would not be socially acceptable for her to “come out” as a woman, several characters reveal that Charlotte is not alone in her choice of deception, that unfortunately for a woman to have any real sense of independence in that time and place, she could not be a woman at all. This is no better illustrated than in the character of Anna, an Italian-American who takes refuge, along with her daughter, with Charley, believing her to be a man. Anna is industrious and fierce when it comes to caring for her daughter, but she is ultimately dependent upon men to make a living because there is simply no way (or very few ways) for a woman to “make it” alone during that time.

I will end on this note: any historical fiction has “succeeded”, in my opinion, if after reading it the audience is inspired to do more research on the topic, and are thus left thinking about it long after they have finished the book. That was certainly the case with The Whip, and I expect that it will be the case for most readers. Kondazian writes with incredible sympathy for all of her characters, even the villains, which left me wanting to do some research of my own about Charley Parkhurst and gain a better understanding of her incredible story. This is an excellent debut novel for Karen Kondazian, written with an incredible sensitivity to character (no doubt thanks to her distinguished acting career), and I look forward to seeing more from her in the future.

You might like The Whip if you like: historical fiction, westerns, or women’s studies.

I bought the book because of the subject matter, thinking this would be a "historical fiction" with more of an emphasis on the "historical" then the "fiction." The author does make it clear she took liberties with the story (started out with the idea of the character, kept some important events from hir life, but made up a bunch of it), so I don't feel "deceived." This is an enjoyable read, a good story with interesting characters, but I don't know how much of it is true to Parkhurst's life. How...more

Based on a true story, The Whip follows the life of Charlotte “Charley” Parkhurst, who spent most of her life disguised as a male Wells Fargo stagecoach driver. Memorable and fascinating because of interesting main character, the story also delivers many details about life in the Old West during the Gold Rush.

From the revealing (spoiler-ish) plot synopsis the book sounds like a great romp. Charley is a strong, determined survivor and her story is unique.

The Whip is a departure from the type of novel that I usually read, as I never really read novels with a Western theme.

It’s based on the life of Charley Parkhurst, a young woman who, following the death of her husband and child, spent much of the 19th century tracking down their murder . . . as a man.

This is an authentic old west tale, complete with a lynching, stagecoach chases, gun fights, and more. It’s the story of a woman who is so successful at being a man, not only is she allowed to vote (oh, the horror – LOL!), but she successfully takes her secret to the grave – or so close that it doesn’t really matter. There are, admittedly, some liberties taken with her story, but more to flesh out the grey areas than to significantly alter or misrepresent anything about her. That’s an important distinction to make, because she is most definitely not your typical heroine. In fact, at times, she is downright nasty.

Reading Charley’s story, you really get a sense of what life was like for a young, widowed woman in 19th century America. In hindsight, it’s all too easy to see her as a kind of social rebel, a precursor to the feminist movement of the mid 20th century, but the truth is she was guided by two things – the need to survive, and the desire to avenge her family – and advancing women’s rights wasn’t one of them. Charley’s life was a difficult one, both before and after losing her family, with one obstacle after another forced into her path. I daresay most men wouldn’t have been able to continue under such conditions!

The early scenes at the orphanage, with the cruel headmistress and boy-cum-monster are a bit over-the-top, but not so much as to detract from the overall story. They really help to set up Charley as a young (wo)man with potential, while her budding romance with an African American blacksmith is a nice touch, further establishing her as an early outsider.

I must say, Charley’s transformation certainly doesn’t paint the men of the time in a very flattering light, but it’s honest and down-to-earth. It’s about more than just dressing the part – it’s about walking the walk, talking the talk, and acting the role 24X7. She learns to smoke, chew tobacco, cuss, and fight with the best of them, but to Kondazian’s credit, she never comes across as some ‘butch’ character – we know there’s a woman at the heart of Charley, but the necessities of life dictate a different path.

Very well-written, this has the feel of something like Clint Eastwood’s Unforgiven – a raw, realistic, powerful western that stays well away from the spaghetti roots.(less)

Karen Kondazian has a way with words that just about takes your breath away. She's smart, funny and unapologetic. Honestly, this is one of the best novels I've ever read. Heartbreakingly beautiful characters and truly unpredictable twists and turns had me panicked, repeatedly checking how many pages I had left. Ever cry because you've reached the end of a book?

What a cinematic story!

Based on the life of stagecoach driver Charlotte "Charley" Parkhurst (1812-1879), this historical novel starts out on the east coast and goes clear to the west coast, which took months by boat in those days.

But the change of venue is nearly incidental to the epic and emotional power of the book. I was so moved by the conclusion that I wept.

Imagine a woman, Charlotte, disguising herself as a man, keeping all her yearnings for things female deeply buried as she turns to life on the road, driving a stagecoach as cigar smoking, hard drinking "Charlie." For reasons as dark as they are true to a time gone by. Look for a movie out of this one. Short, punchy chapters will keep you turning pages.
