A very moving saga of a little kown aspect of the lives of slaves and their families and their 'masters'. While it took me about 50-70 pages to fall into the author's style, it was well worth the wait. Note: in the back of the book there is, following the interview with the author, a list of characters by 'location' that will help you in the beginning.
