Review: Not great, but not too bad either.

Pros:  I loved Nicholas and Mandy.  They were very unique characters.  Mandy was quite the opposite of how a southern belle usually acts, and that was very refreshing.  Nicholas was not your typical slave owner, and that was greatly appreciated by me.  The overall story line was intriguing, and the writer was excellent at describing the plantations, both in England and in Carolina.Cons:  There were so many characters that I stopped trying to remember who was who, and just focused on the top ten, give or take!  Reading the slave language was awkward and I stumbled over those sentences having to reread them to grasp what was being said.This book was not the best I've ever read, but by far is not the worst so give it a try and if it does not interest you or capture you within the 1st chapter perhaps your time would be better spent on a different book.
