Fuglerede

by Elizabeth Musser, Andreas Kristiansen (Translator)

Så dukker tenåringen CeeCee uventet opp med spørsmål knyttet til et slektstre Nans ektemann har delt på nettet. CeeCee er i besittelse av en gammel dagbok som knytter hennes egne slektninger til plantasjen Nans svigerfamilie har eid i generasjoner. Når Nan sier seg villig til å hjelpe CeeCee med et skriveprosjekt om Borgerkrigens slaver og slaveeiere, oppdager hun til sin forferdelse at 1800-tallets slaveri har en moderne versjon - og at denne utspiller seg ubehagelig nær hennes eget liv og omgangskrets.

Jo mer Nan avdekker, desto tettere trekkes hun inn mot sexslavehandelens brutale underverden. Snart kommer hun over indisier som involverer ektemannens advokatpraksis. Kan denne forbindelsen ha resultert i en utforkjøring som kanskje likevel ikke var en ulykke?

Meeslepend en hard verhaal, en hoe familie en vrienden een belangrijke rol spelen in moeilijke momenten.

Een indrukwekkend boek waarin de verhaallijnen van de vroegere slavernij heel knap verweven zijn met hedendaagse slavernij.
