Are the characters likeable in this book? I found the characters very unlikeable in Lilac Girls? Also is there gratutious violence, sexual and otherwise? I found Lilac Girls to have too much to my liking and yes, I understand this is about war and slavery but sometimes too much description is just too much for me in my reading.

To me, it showed how her character developed over the course of the book. Even the cat could see the change in her. Maybe only the cat could see the change, but animals are awesome like that.

Was I rooting for her to end up in jail? Of course, I was. But it seemed unlikely, once she showed her willingness to cooperate with the authorities, that she would be hanged or even do major jail time. We see that in our "justice" system all the time today. You turn somebody else in, you get a lessened sentence.

Perfectly believable, understandable, and it was a satisfying ending to her story, as far as I was concerned. (less)

correction to the summary?: the goodreads summary states, "When Jemma is sold by the cruel plantation mistress Anne-May", but Jemma is sold by anne-may's husband, who anne-may states doesn't own jemma, thus anne-may goes to new york to try to find jemma and, "get my PROPERTY back!"
