challenging emotional reflective tense medium-paced

5.0

I hope this book gets the attention it deserves. Expertly written and covers the views of both enslaved and enslaver. 
A definite need to read for anyone who likes mid-19th century history.

merit_willa's review against another edition

A plucky plantation owner and an overseer who's nice, actually, save the slaves ... Started intriguing, but the pacing is loose, the book is far too long for the story it's telling, and it reeks of white saviorism.
