| Description: |
A dissection of slavery. It focuses on the extraordinary character Lilith, a spirited slave girl struggling to transcend the violence into which she is born, as well as on the conspiracy of the Night Women, a clandestine council of fierce slave women plotting an island-wide revolt. |
| Synopsis: |
This is the story of Lilith, born into slavery on a Jamaican sugar plantation at the end of the eighteenth century. Even at her birth, the Night Women ? a clandestine council of fierce slaves plotting an island-wide revolt ? recognize a dark force in her that they treat with both reverence and fear. But as Lilith comes of age and begins to understand her own feelings and identity, she dares to push at the edges of what is imaginable for the life of a slave woman. And as rebellions simmer and unspoken jealousies intensify, Lilith's powers and sense of purpose threaten not just her own destiny, but the destinies of all the slave women in Jamaica. |
