The storyline is extremely sensitive and, in some manner, may have been made to look "nicer" than it was. But it kept my attention. ( ) This listen came to me from an audible.com giveaway, I think. It gives an eye-opening portrayal of Southern slavery in the hands of the Jewish people of Georgia--clearly written from the female perspective. The reader also gets the perspective of a Southern civilian in the Civil War, both black and white. Characters? Adalaide is the white sister, who we love to hate. Rachel, the black sister, is more agreeable. The pace is slow in spots, accelerates in others; perhaps according to reader tastes? I'll try another Sabra book. Read it for a book club. Didn't find it particularly interesting as I am not into softcore porn, and it was full of stereotypes. The white women were all frigid and the black women represented sexual desire. The slave women did not have love affairs with their slave owners, they were beaten and raped. This book also perpetuates the myth that black men will riot and kill all the white people, which the basis of all white racist thinking. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"When two Union soldiers stumble onto a plantation in northern Georgia on a warm May day in 1864, the last thing they expect is to see the Union flag flying high--or to be greeted by a group of freed slaves and their Jewish mistress. Little do they know that this place has an unusual history. Twelve years prior, Adelaide Mannheim--daughter of Mordecai, the only Jewish planter in the county--was given her own maid, a young slave named Rachel. The two became friends, and soon they discovered a secret: Mordecai was Rachel's father, too. As the country moved toward war, Adelaide and Rachel struggled to navigate their newfound sisterhood--from love and resentment to betrayal and, ultimately, forgiveness. Now, facing these Union soldiers as General Sherman advances nearer, their bond is put to the ultimate test. Will the plantation be spared? Or will everything they've lived for be lost?"--Page 4 of cover. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
