WINNER OF THE ORANGE PRIZE Set in 1828 on a Louisiana sugar plantation, this novel from the bestselling author of Mary Reilly presents a fresh, unsentimental look at what slave-owning does to (and for) one's interior life.... The writing-so prised and clean limbed-is a marvel" (Toni Morrison, Nobel Prize-winning author of Beloved).Manon Gaudet, pretty, bitterly intelligent, and monstrously self-absorbed, seethes under the dominion of her boorish husband. In particular his relationship with her slave Sarah, who is both his victim and his mistress.Exploring the permutations of Manons own obsession with Sarah against the backdrop of an impending slave rebellion, Property unfolds with the speed and menace of heat lightning, casting a startling light from the past upon the assumptions we still make about the powerful and powerful.
