Surprisingly Smart
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
For what looks like a trashy novel, based on the cover art and blurbs, this book is surprisingly not trashy. Sure, there are the requisite sex & violence scenes, but overall this book is brimming with such salacious themes as early racism between whites and blacks and within the black slave community, sexism, the role of religion in the abolitionist movement, the effects of power, and other juicy themes. In addition, I learned a lot about the processing of sugar and the daily grind (so to speak) of a sugar plantation. A beach read and a history lesson in one.
