Excellent book! Grabbed my attention from page 1. Story centers on 2 characters- Mattie, a field slave brought into the "Big House" as a wet nurse and Elizabeth, the child who Mattie takes care of while her own child is raised by others. We see the relationship between the 2 develop and how Elizabeth's identity is influenced, unintentionally, by the woman who raises her. Only problem I had was with some of the dialogue between Elizabeth and her elders, it didn't seem to reflect her age when she was a child. I was always figuring out how old she was because she always spoke like an adult.
