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?

A different world laid bare
Australians know little of the American Civil War and l found this a fascinating and very moving story. The writing was good, although Adelaide's character wasn't as well developed as l'd have liked. The performance was brilliant, really brought to life by such fabulous accents. The only failure was the scottish captain who ran the blockade for them.

Incredible story! Thoughtful and beautifully told.
This book is a treasure. I cannot begin to express my sincere appreciation and enjoyment in listening and being drawn into this tale that sent the echoes of a time past so gently into my being, fully and effortlessly. The narration is flawless!!! One of the best I've listened to.
