2014 Inaugural Ross and Marianna Beach Author Series selection. See the NY Times review. Be patient with the narrator's (freed slave) dialect. It is a worthy award winner! Similar historical fiction: Not without laughter by Langston Hughes and Madam: a novel of New Orleans by Cari Lynn and Kellie Martin.
