«A beautiful and important book» The Times
On the day Jacob, an Anglo-Dutch trader, agrees to accept a slave as payment for a debt from a plantation owner, the life of young Florens changes forever. With her keen intelligence and desire to wear her mistress's cast-off shoes, Florens has never withdrawn into the shadows, and now, at the age of eight, she is separated from her family to begin a new life with a new master. She becomes part of Jacob's household, along with his wife Rebekka, Lina, the Native American servant, and the mysterious Sorrow, who was rescued from a shipwreck. Together, these women face the trials of their harsh environment as Jacob tries to establish himself in the inhospitable landscape of seventeenth-century North America.
