I cannot remember the last time I read a book nearly straight through. I liked how this story came at the horrors of slavery through such a different angle. It was foremost about this complicated relationship that was so loving, even through the truth of the institutional racism behind it. I was saddened by the predictable ending that could be seen very early. Otherwise, an excellent read.
