Good book with great characters (good and bad ones). Describes the horrid and almost unthinkable society of the time. Intense surrounding, but not too gruelling to read. I found it very fascinating too learn about the different states' approaches to the 'coloured question' after slavery was abolished.
Graphic: Racism and Slavery
Minor: Rape
