Description

Tenk deg at du til bryllupsdagen din fikk din søster i gave – som din slave. ' Da den velstående plantasjeeieren Cornelius Allen gifter bort datteren Clarissa, gir han henne en bryllupsgave: den unge slavekvinnen Sarah. De to jentene har vokst opp sammen, men livene deres kunne ikke ha vært mer forskjellig. Clarissa er hvit og vant til et privilegert og enkelt liv. Sarah er svart og er vant til et liv med hardt arbeid og slaveri. Det er forbudt å forlate plantasjen, men Sarah lengter etter å bli fri. Når hun til slutt bestemmer seg for at fremtiden ligger utenfor plantasjen, setter det i gang en rekke av hendelser som vil få ødeleggende konsekvenser for begge jentene. «De som likte Barnepiken og Bienes hemmelige liv vil ha stort utbytte av Boddens fortreffelige debutroman. Tematikken og de gripende karakterene gjør den til et opplagt valg for lesesirkler.» Bookreporter «Fascinerende og interessant – en fantastisk historie!» Kathleen Grissom, forfatter av Tilbake til Tall Oakes
