"In the 1680s the slave trade was still in its infancy. Jacob, an Anglo-Dutch trader, has a smallholding in the harsh American north. Despite his distaste for dealing in 'flesh', he takes a small slave girl in part payment for a bad debt from a Maryland plantation owner. This is Florens, who can read and write and might be useful on his farm. Florens is hungry for love, first from the older servant woman at her new master's house; but when she's sixteen, from the handsome blacksmith, an African, never enslaved, who comes riding into their lives ... This is the ambivalent, disturbing story of a mother and a daughter in a violent world where acts of mercy have unforeseen consequences."

""Corren los últimos años del siglo XVII. La espesura de los bosques que pueblan América aún gobierna el espíritu de los hombres. El mundo entero parece a punto de ser inventado por la mano del colono blanco, que se mueve entre los prejuicios y el afán de conseguir bienes materiales: todo, o casi todo, puede comprarse y venderse. Florens, una joven de dieciséis años con manos de esclava y pies de princesa, recorre un largo trecho para buscar al hombre libre que un día llegó a la granja donde ella trabaja para curar la enfermedad de Dolor, otra esclava, pero que al irse se llevó el amor de Florens. Ahora es la dueña la que está enferma. Y Florens debe devolver a aquel hombre a la granja, para que sus manos curen los males del alma y acaricien otra vez su cuerpo de mujer joven que despierta a la vida."--Publisher description."

"Au XVIIe siècle, dans une ferme du Maryland, Jacob Vaark, un négociant anglo-néerlandais, fait un mariage de raison avec Rebekka, l'aînée d'une famille anglaise.
