Synopsis
Synopsis: Two worlds, connected by the insult of slavery, are explored in this novel - the Caribbean plantation, and England. It is an account of inhumanity - of a self-pronounced Christian nation resistant to the black religious conversion in case they recognized that all people are equal under God.

From the Inside Flap
nd's most widely acclaimed young novelists adopts two eerily convincing narrative voices and juxtaposes their stories to devastating effect in this mesmerizing portrait of slavery. Cambridge is a devoutly Christian slave in the West Indies whose sense of justice is both profound and self-destructive, while Emily is a morally-blind, genteel Englishwoman.
From the Trade Paperback edition.
