One story is that of a slave house girl named, Josephina and an attorney named, Lina. Lina and Josephina's stories become entwined when, Lina is working on a slave retribution case for a high profile client.
The story is intriguing yet there are too many coincidences to make it believable. The most interesting part of this novel, is a 20 page letter. The relationship between, Josephina and her mistress is very compelling and Josephina's life story, draws you in emotionally.
This is an above average debut novel --- not the very best but interesting enough to keep you turning the pages.
Grade: B-
