5.0 out of 5 stars Very moving,Kemble takes us with her on a harrowing journey, 22 Nov 2001
By A Customer
Fanny Kemble (member of the first family of the British theatre) met her husband-to-be, Pierce Butler, during her time in America. They married soon after but it was a marrage that was doomed to fail.
Pierce inherited a Georgian Slave Plantation - something Kemble was passionately against! Spending time on the plantation only made Kemble more aware of the horrors that slaves had to endure. She made continual efforts to try and help them but the battle she was endlessly fighting seemed to be unwinnable.What Kemble was doing was frowned upon not only by society but also by her husband which made her efforts even more difficult.
Kemble writes of many heart-breaking events that she was powerless to stop, making us feel her sorrow and pain for an impossible situation.
This is a book that everyone should read not only because it is the work of a truly inspirational person but because it is an issue of which we should all be aware. Slavery still happens today, even more so than ever, and after reading this book the only question I am left with is... why?
