'Property' is an intricately told tale of both individual stories and of a country in a time of change, where ownership is at once everything and nothing, and where belonging, by contrast, is all.

Uncomfortable reading, but compelling

5 steloj

It felt strange reading this novel about slavery as seen from the perspective of a white woman slave owner. I didn't particularly like her, although her narrative makes for compelling reading. Trapped in a loveless marriage, I did sometimes find myself starting to feel a little sorry for her predicament, but then I would see again how she regarded the slave women she owned and her attitude towards their lives easily kept me from pity.
