Wench by Dolen Perkins-ValdezThis novel is a MUST read for everyone. The author reveals the painful pleasures that some slaves endure, through some of the most well-developed and memorable characters depicted in print. This isn't a tired old story of slavery, anything but. This story is about families, friendships, love and so much more. It tells of the advantages/disadvantages and relationships the Wenches have and had with their masters - it tells of an idyllic resort and the summers spent there. This story enlightens the readers to a whole new world. The author, Dolen Perkins-Valdez has mastered story-telling with this, her debut novel.
I am looking forward to more of the same from her.
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It sounds really good. The manuscript I am working on now has a slavery set of chapters in it as well. Intrigue.....
