Title: A chilling look at slavery
Review: This book is not for the faint hearted, but it provides a facinating look at plantation life two hundred years ago. The terrible, lingering death of a slave named Prosper is at the emotional core of this story. The sadistic master, Hodge, is like a character from a lurid novel. His apalling cruelty is described in detail. Hodge was prosecuted by the British Government and eventually hanged. While most people probably know very little about this story it is clearly a major event in the history of the slave trade. Well researched and highly recommended.
