I like 'Gone With the Wind', so I wasn't sure if I was going to like this book, but I picked it up on sale, and I was pleasantly surprised. The main character, Cynara, was born a slave on Tara, a southern plantation. It is the story of her life, her tribulations and triumphs, her inner-most thoughts, desires and dreams, recorded in diary-like format.

The story paints an interesting picture of the South, one I enjoyed reading.
