About this listen

Winner, 2017 APA Audie Awards - Fiction

When two Union soldiers stumble onto a plantation in northern Georgia on a warm May day in 1864, the last thing they expect is to see the Union flag flying high - or to be greeted by a group of freed slaves and their Jewish mistress. Little do they know that this place has an unusual history.

Twelve years prior, Adelaide Mannheim - daughter of Mordecai, the only Jewish planter in the county - was given her own maid, a young slave named Rachel. The two became friends, and soon they discovered a secret: Mordecai was Rachel's father, too.

As the country moved toward war, Adelaide and Rachel struggled to navigate their newfound sisterhood - from love and resentment to betrayal and, ultimately, forgiveness.

Now, facing these Union soldiers as General Sherman advances nearer, their bond is put to the ultimate test. Will the plantation be spared? Or will everything they've lived for be lost?

Loved it

This was an amazing book. I was sad to see it end and savoured the entire thing. The characters were engaging and the story line intriguing. Definitely recommend.

Best civil war fiction ever

I consume a volume of historical fiction and this is the best thing I have read (listened to) on the civil war. While it is clearly fictionalized and doesn't pretend to be otherwise, it adeptly explores the complexities and nuances that human relationships bring to the political context. Having just returned from Beaufort, SC where we did lots of historical tours, including the Penn Centre, the narrative rings true. A masterful performance matches the prose.
