Wench takes place before the Civil War and follows one slave woman, Lizzie, and her relationship with three other slave women that she only sees while on vacation with their masters at an Ohio resort. While the other women do what they have do to survive, Lizzie believes that Drayle loves her because she loves him. The resort is in free territory, and the women are exposed to a different reality than they know.
This was a book club selection and wouldn't have been something I chose on my own. It had horribly graphic violence that bothered me. The story was interesting, but the characters could have been more developed.
