A story told by 2 of the characters, Belle and Lavinia. On a tobacco plantation in Virginia young Lavinia was an indentured servant from Ireland in the late 1700's. Belle was the plantation owners illegitimate slave daughter. She runs the kitchen house off the main house. Lavinia learns all the chores that are done by the slaves, who become her family. But she is also accepted by the people of the main house. This was my bookclub selection this month and I recommend this book to all serious readers.
