A powerful and deservedly dark tale about the experience of individual and societal brutality, slavery, obsessive and forbidden love, drug addiction, and murder. Uplifting for the human spirit of decency and dignity the main character possesses amid the horrors of her life. Fascinating for the light it sheds on early 19th century plantation society in Jamaica and upper and lower class lives in England.
