Set in 1828 on a Louisiana sugar plantation, the narrative explores the toxic dynamics of slavery through the eyes of Manon Gaudet, a beautiful yet self-absorbed woman trapped in a stifling marriage. Her husband's cruel treatment of both her and Sarah, a slave who is caught in a complex web of victimization and illicit intimacy, reveals the deep psychological scars inflicted by slavery on all involved. The story delves into themes of power, jealousy, and the haunting legacy of oppression.
