This book was recommended to me by a patron, and I'm glad she did. While the book is a work of fiction, the resort where it takes place was very real. The story follows a few years in the lives of several Southern slaves (four of whom are slave mistresses)  brought to a summer resort by their owners. The owners go about their business, and the slaves interact with each other, comparing circumstances back home. It is pretty graphic at times, but you have to remember that things like this happened during slavery. I found it very compelling.
