Beautiful writing and a compelling story with symbolism that doesn't feel forced. Sometimes it felt just a bit slower than I would have liked it to be to build up suspense, but overall a great book. No character is pure good or pure evil, and it gives a bit of insight into what it would be like to live around the time before, during, and after the Civil War on a plantation.
