Eyewitness accounts of the Haitian Revolution frame this early American novel that draws uncomfortable parallels between Caribbean race warfare and domestic violence in the new United States. Sansay combines travel writing, political analysis, and gothic fiction in ways that feel surprisingly modern. For readers interested in how women writers of the early republic saw connections between different forms of oppression. The kind of historical fiction that illuminates both its own time and ours.
