"Der Garten hält den Atem an, gefangen zwischen Vergehen und einem leisen Versprechen von neuem Leben." Eine Immobilienanzeige zeigt ein kleines, verwildertes Haus mit Brombeerranken. Alt. Still. Voller Möglichkeiten. Du klickst. Und irgendetwas in dir sagt: Das hier betrifft dich. Bramberi erzählt von einer Frau (Elva, 40), die an einem Wendepunkt steht. Zwischen leerer Leinwand und wildem Grün, alten Spuren und neuen Fragen. Es ist kein Buch über laute Veränderungen, sondern über die, die im Inneren geschehen – unscheinbar, aber tief.

Grace has been with almost every member of the Athens Club before her debut is complete. And she proves to be one of the most requested slaves of the dozens they own.

For what purposes, she can only guess. None of them good.

When Grace is shipped off to the Clayton plantation in Alabama, she finds her circumstances have changed dramatically. In some ways better but in other ways, worse. At least until things change again. In a shocking turn of events. Even for Grace.
