Discussion Questions
We had mixed reviews on this one. Personally I loved this book. It was a quick read (which is often tough for me with adult books) and it was historical fiction (my favorite genre). Set pre-civil war, Wench tells the story of the slave mistresses of white masters. The women are brought into free territory to "vacation" with their masters.
Many of us loved hearing a story from a point of view we had not heard before. This thought provoking book brought about good discussion. Many members said it was very "Oprah Book Club" (which it is!) and a bit depressing without enough action.
