review 1: Well this story claimed most of my weekend. Eventhough the writing was fair, the story was very good and I couldn't wait to see how all the different story lines would connect. However, there was a point where I almost stopped reading. The author's characterization of one of the slaves was almost offensive to me. Once again, I decided to accept this as a work of fiction and move on. If not for this, I would have given this book four stars.
review 2: I wasn't sure I was going to finish this book. The first half was way too fluffy and simple for me; I was expecting something deeper and with more well developed characters. The story jumped ahead several times with no explanation of the intervening years. However, I perservered and when the author introduced a c... moreompletely new story line at the halfway point, I became more interested and wondered how she was going to tie in the new characters and story to the earlier part of the book. The tie-in was a surprise (I hate when I can figure out what's going to happen way too early in the book); however, the ending was predictable. I'd have preferred a surprise there, as well. Overall I enjoyed the book. I read this right after reading "The Kitchen House" by Katheen Grissom (see my review), which really sucked me in and affected me deeply. Perhaps if I would have read this book first, I'd have enjoyed it more. less
