Lizzie, Reenie, and Sweet are regulars at Tawawa House. They have become friends over the years as they reunite and share developments in their own lives and on their respective plantations. They don’t bother too much with questions of freedom, though…

I rated Wench a 5, as it is the first historical fiction book I’ve read personally that delves into the hearts, minds and emotions of slave women. The stories I’ve read and things I’ve been taught do teach about the things read in Wench, so yes, I knew about them happening but this book allowed me to really go deep with the subject matter. It was painstakingly raw and full of emotion.
