This little book is a real treasure. The writing is beautifully done and done in the style of the l9th century. One has to work at reading this book for that reason. Don't rush your reading. If you do you will find yourself having to re-read whole pages. The story involves the life of a young woman in the Civil War era who is born to priviledge but must suffer the intolerable behavior of her father, a self-made wealthy plantation owner. This is a beautiful picture of the South and slavery during the l800's. I recommend this book to anyone. It gives the reader a good picture of slavery in the pre-Civil War era. Genny
