Description: This book is set in the antebellum South and explores the complex and often conflicting realities of slavery in the years leading up to the Civil War. Through vivid characters and compelling dialogue, the author brings to life the lives of both slaveholders and enslaved people. We meet characters like Tom Gordon, a wealthy slave owner, and Harry, a quadroon slave who manages the plantation for his mistress, Nina. The book delves into the deeply rooted social hierarchy of the South, where the power dynamics between white and Black people are both rigid and fraught with contradictions. The author grapples with themes of freedom, identity, and the struggle for agency amidst a system designed to deny it. We see the impact of slavery on all who are touched by it, whether those who profit from it or those who suffer under its yoke. Through the characters’ experiences, the author reveals the deep-seated tensions and hypocrisy of this era, inviting readers to consider the enduring legacy of slavery on the American landscape.
