The book explores themes of love, cruelty, and social injustice against the backdrop of a Southern plantation, likely during a time of escalating tension around slavery. The opening portion introduces complex characters, particularly focusing on Mr. Torwood Lafitte and his wife, Josephine, as well as the suffering of the enslaved individuals working on their plantation. The beginning of the story unfolds on a sweltering day at Mr. Lafitte's plantation in Louisiana, where tensions rise between him and his wife, Josephine, who is trapped in a loveless and abusive marriage. As she expresses her despair and resentment towards Lafitte, who seems to relish in his cruelty, the narrative juxtaposes their domestic turbulence with the brutal realities faced by the enslaved laborers on the estate. The atmosphere is charged with oppressive heat and the weight of deep emotional and physical suffering, setting the stage for the exploration of themes of love, oppression, and the quest for freedom as embodied by various characters, including Josephine and possibly the enslaved man, Antony, whose story begins to intertwine with the Lafittes'.
