Editorial Reviews
“Outstanding…Hambly’s sure hand with historical detail, her convincing characterizations, and her view of the slave trade that debased both blacks and their white masters raise this tale of violence, deceit, and humiliation to a must-read commentary on human frailty and redeeming human friendship.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Vivid glimpses of the disparate lives led by whites and people of color in mid-nineteenth-century New Orleans.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Relayed through January’s perspective, the story gives an intimate picture of the intolerance and struggles of the time, but as carefully crafted as these matters are, Hambly is also talented enough to entertain.” —Booklist
