i get nervous when i read books in which some of the characters are slaves b/c i’m always worried that the language used will be offensive/stereotypical, like jar jar binks or something…but i wanted to get this one on early reviewers and didn’t…

I enjoyed reading your review. I just heard about this book earlier this week and kept thinking either it’s great or weird! Glad to hear it’s fabulous and am adding to my TBR list.

Thanks for the review.! I think Gone with the Wind was the last civil war novel I read. Truly, it’s time for me to move on … I’ll give Sweetsmoke a try.
