I loved this book! It offered a a refreshing take on a subject that slave owners and their "mistresses", although I use this word loosely because it implies that these women freely entered these relationships. I think with all the reviews of the book, it is not neccessary for me to recap what it is about. What I would like to say is that I loved how the author showed you four women in the same situation, and how each one of them viewed their situation differently. And how knowing one another changed their views of their lives.

The reason I was unable to give this book the full five stars is that I really wished that the author would have explored the circumstances of the other women, how their relationships developed with their masters in the same manner in which she did Lizzie. It would not have required much, a chapter for each just so we would know some sort of back story to how they found themselves in their current situation.

Besides that, I have no complaints about this book. I read it during one day of traveling and was left wanting more. I look forward to reading future works by this author.
