À propos de cet audio

Fourteen years after the end of slavery, Lord Henry Hardin and his wife, Lady Bertha, enjoy an entitled life in Union County, Arkansas. Until he faces a devastating reality: Bertha is unable to bear children. If Henry doesn't produce an heir, the American branch of his family name will die out. So Henry, desperate to preserve his aristocratic family lineage, does the unthinkable.

When Salome, Henry's colored mistress, gives birth to a white-skinned, blue-eyed daughter, Henry orders a reluctant Lady Bertha to claim the child as their own...allowing young Margaret to pass into the white world of privilege.

As Margaret grows older, unaware of her true parentage, devastating circumstances threaten to shroud her in pain and shame...but then, ultimately, in revelation. Despite rumors about Margaret's true identity, Salome is determined to transform her daughter's bitter past into her secure future while Henry goes to extraordinary lengths to protect his legacy. Spanning decades and generations, marked by tragedy and redemption, this unforgettable saga illuminates a family's fight for their name, for survival, and for true freedom.

Light listening

This is my first novel by this author. I found it to be light with simple dialog; nothing complex. I expected more in the shape of a stronger main female character than what the novel delivers, but that is just me. I was expecting and would have liked to see a different side of her (the main character). I don't want to give anything up, so I will leave it at that. The story is a bit too long, but quite descriptive, so it does give you a good and clear image of what was happening to them; you can picture each and everyone.

I like that the story covers several years in the lives of these families without even noticing it.
Very good performance by the narrator.
Good summer listen/read.
