Virginia in the 1680s: a convict-servant with a gentleman's past, a planter's daughter, and the Tobacco Rebellion — when men went through the fields at night cutting the plants to force the price up. Freeman wrote the definitive stories of New England's stubborn, straitened women; this is her one costume novel, and the Virginia in it is a colony where labour is property.
