I read this book when it first came out and never forgot it. I reread it recently and appreciated it even more. I became each character--knowing, feeling their experiences. I am saving my copy as a gift for my beloved granddaughter. She is just 4 now, but what a "world" Belva Plain has given us!

Good read.

I havn't quite finished this book but I am enjoying it. The characters are brought to life and you can feel the emotions. Lush descriptions of Caribbean as well as wise insights into the aftermath of slavery, bigotry and power.
