Patience is selected by a man and they maintain a sort of even relationship. Serah, however, has a lover Noah who is on a nearby farm. She and Monroe fight and fuss over everything. The story is so well-written that the time and place are very believable and although the lives of these women are awful, the loyalty and friendship between them is so strong. The life of Lizzie, the owner's wife, is also one of hardship but she can't see any other situation other than the usefulness of the slaves. A well-written and interesting story.

HTML: A RECOMMENDED READ FROM: The Washington Post â?¢ Atlanta Journal-Constitution â?¢ CrimeReads â?¢ Library Journal A gripping, radically intimate debut novel about a group of enslaved women staging a covert rebellion against their owners On a struggling Texas plantation, six enslaved women slip from their sleeping quarters and gather in the woods under the cover of night. The Lucysâ??as they call the plantation owners, after Lucifer himselfâ??have decided to turn around the farm's bleak financial prospects by making the women bear children. They have hired a "stockman" to impregnate them. But the women are determined to protect themselves. Now each of the six faces a choice. Nan, the doctoring woman, has brought a sack of cotton root clippings that can stave off children when chewed daily. If they all take part, the Lucys may give up and send the stockman away. But a pregnancy for any of them will only encourage the Lucys further. And should their plan be discovered, the consequences will be severe. Visceral and arresting, Night Wherever We Go illuminates each woman's individual trials and desires while painting a subversive portrait of collective defiance. Unflinching in her portrayal of America's gravest injustices, while also deeply attentive to the transcendence, love, and solidarity of women whose interior lives have been underexplored, Tracey Rose Peyton creates a story of unforgetta Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

a novel about enslaved people doesn't sound like a very happy story (and it's not) but this was a book that compelled me to keep reading. Very immersive, skillfully told interwoven stories. Highly recommended. (
