The wife of a rich white landowner, Hagar is happily married. But she has a secret: her past conceals a drop of 'black' blood and although she knows her husband loves her deeply, she fears that knowledge of her origin would kill all desire in him. Set in America in 1880, at a time when there was still huge hostility toward black people, Pauline Hopkins' novel challenges all stereotypes about skin colour and tackles such issues as love, hate and fear with the ease of a master storyteller.
