A short but very powerful book about slavery in the deep south of America, & showing that slavery comes in different forms as Manon is expected to be fully subservient to her despised husband. I don't know how factually correct it was but it seemed wholly credible to me (with the exception of the scene after Manon's mother dies!) A very good read indeed.

Swapped at the LFL in Sparrow Park, Birkenshaw
