Enlightening dramatic wonderful read
This novel is a MUST read for everyone. The author reveals the painful pleasures that a slave endures, through some of the most well-developed and memorable characters depicted in print. This isn't a tired old story of slavery, anything but. This story is about families, friendships, love and so much more. It tells of the advantages/disadvantages and relationships the Wenches had with their masters - it tells of an idyllic resort and the summers spent there. This story enlightens the readers to a whole new world. The author has mastered story-telling with this, her debut novel.
I’m looking forward to more of the same from her.
