"Everything I want a novel to be, story-driven but marked with the great arc of its telling. You feel “Yes, this is what the 19th century must have been like.”"

This is a well-written historical fiction novel about one of my favorite time periods, the 18th century. The characters were memorable, and I intend upon reading more by the author.

"Uncle Tom’s Cabin may be, today, the most misunderstood, misread American novel. I hope its vitality, generosity, and human warmth will carry it on past this period of prejudice and eclipse."
