A complete surprise. A totally reimagined version that holds up as it's own story. James is a character not to be forgotten.

Brilliant.
A reviewer calls it “ferociously funny” which is an apt description. The unwritten rules that govern interactions between slavers and the enslaved are meticulously portrayed and savagely funny. The reader can recognize both the absurdity and the heartbreaking modern parallels.
