A fasinating story - the author took what she knew of her great-grandmother born of a white plantation owner and a black slave who was really his mistress a sense. She married a black free man but then the Civil War erupted and years went by before she saw him again. Not just did she develop a novel from this but all the research she did of that time really made me feel that this could in fact have been the biography of this strong, upright woman.
Just like She's Come Undone, Lamb's voice in this novel is stunning. His character development is deep and masterful. The plot is also intricate but keeps the reader fully engaged throughout. There is also a wonderful twist at the end.
