Fabulous read about the Civil War on a plantation in South Carolina. One of the characters, Bett, has magical powers which she activates from a brick in her oven as she bakes cakes. Bett even allows time travel so that Lillie can clear her father of being a thief and free Lillie, her brother, and father.
Absolutely mesmerizing, but brutal and disturbing. This book is a little like a train wreck. It's horrific, but you can't look away.
