Why I have this book: I borrowed it from the e-book library. I don't remember why I chose it, though...
I really liked this novel set in Charleston, South Carolina in the 1800's. Focusing on the topic of slavery and abolition, the book is well-written and engrossing. I wish it would have included an epilogue. I wanted to know how things turned out...
I also liked how quilting was a small part of the story.
The 'Author's Note" at the end is a must read to sort out what is fact and what is fiction.
This book contains a handful (no pun intended*) or two of swear words, and a few instances of not-so-graphic sexuality. There is also violence in the treatment/punishment of slaves, also not graphically described.
*You'll get that if you've read the book. :)
