Product Information
Wench by Dolen Perkins-Valdez is startling and original fiction that raises provocative questions of power and freedom, love and dependence. An enchanting and unforgettable novel based on little-known fact, Wench combines the narrative allure of Cane River by Lalita Tademy and the moral complexities of Edward P. Jones's The Known World as it tells the story of four black enslaved women in the years preceding the Civil War. A stunning debut novel, Wench marks author Perkins-Valdez--previously a finalist for the 2009 Robert Olen Butler Short Fiction Prize--as a writer destined for greatness.

I would love to give feedback on this book, but I ordered it three weeks ago today, and tracking shows it being shipped back and forth between San Francisco and Oakland five times over the past two weeks. I’m in Hawaii. So…no book. This is not the seller’s fault, but eBay keeps asking me to rate a book they assume I received.
