À propos de cet audio

The bestselling author of Yellow Crocus returns with a haunting and tender story of three women returning to the plantation they once called home.

Oberlin, Ohio, 1868. Lisbeth Johnson was born into privilege in the antebellum South. Jordan Freedman was born a slave to Mattie, Lisbeth's beloved nurse. The women have an unlikely bond deeper than friendship. Three years after the Civil War, Lisbeth and Mattie are tending their homes and families while Jordan, an aspiring suffragette, teaches at an integrated school.

When Lisbeth discovers that her father is dying, she's summoned back to the Virginia plantation where she grew up. There she must face the Confederate family she betrayed by marrying an abolitionist. Jordan and Mattie return to Fair Oaks, too, to save the family they left behind, who still toil in oppression. For Lisbeth, it's a time for reconciliation. For Jordan and Mattie, it's time for liberation.

As the Johnsons and Freedmans confront the injustice that binds them, as well as the bitterness and violence that seethes at its heart, the women must find the courage to free their families - and themselves - from the past.

Although I did enjoy this book, I found it a little to much a a history lesson in some parts. Don’t get me wrong, I love to learn about historical events. However, I found that in some sections it was like being on a guided tour and being told every detail at one stop, instead of gradual pieces of information being shared.

Enjoyable sequel

Overall it is still pretty good, although parts of the book seemed like the author was having the characters experience something so they could include telling the history, which is still very interesting to learn about but it didn't seem to fit as well with the story.

Not as engaging as the first book in the series
