Book Description:
Dana, a modern black woman, is celebrating her twenty-sixth birthday with her new husband when she is snatched abruptly from her home in California and transported to the antebellum South. Rufus, the white son of a plantation owner, is drowning, and Dana has been summoned to save him. Dana is drawn back again and again for Rufus, yet each time the stay grows longer and more dangerous until it is uncertain whether or not Dana's life will end, long before it has even begun.Eye Candy is a feature that was inspired by Marcia at The Printed Page and Daphne at Tanzanite's Shelf and Stuff, who often post about books with eye-catching covers.
I checked this out at the library last week -- my copy doesn't have this cover. I haven't started yet -- I hope it's good!
ReplyDeleteI really want to read some Butler! She seems to be so popular and all her stories sound very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I have seen a lot of books set in the "antebellum" south recently.
This looks really interesting!! The cover is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for following my blog :)
My edition doesn't have this cover but I wish it did. This is such an excellent book!
ReplyDeleteI love the cover as well - and the story sounds very intriguing. I will have to check this one out!
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this! I hadn't seen the new cover yet. I actually read this in high school, and although I enjoyed it the cover on the copy I read was AWFUL! This is much better. :)
