Property by Valerie Martin
* Winner of the Orange Prize for Fiction 2003. * A powerful, startling novel set in America's Deep South in the early 19th century - a story of freedom, both political and personal.
A wonderful novel, vivid, revealing * Carol Shields *
This fresh, unsentimental look at what slaveowning does to (and for) one's interior life must be a firstAnd the writing - so prised and clean-limbed - is a marvel. * Toni Morrison *
Reminiscent of Doris Lessing's novel, THE GRASS IS SINGING...Martin's project was not to impose a contemporary sensibility on slavery, but to investigate what the daily fact of its brutality might do to one's interior life * GUARDIAN *
She creates a heroine as intriguing as she is repellent. And she forces the reader into the complicity and discomfort of a voyeur * NEW YORK TIMES *
