I quote a back-cover blurb because I can't say it better myself:
"Brilliant ... So utterly original that it makes most everything previously written about slavery seem outdated and pedestrian. It belongs on a shelf with other classics of slavery, like Toni Morrison's Beloved..." This is so much more than the story of a black farmer and former slave who owns slaves and how his widow manages the estate when he dies. So much more. The Cold Mountain of slaves in Virginia. Absolutely stunning.
