In 1804, on the island of Saint-Domingue, a massacre spares only one life, that of a black baby girl. Taken in by two Frenchmen, the child they name Ruth goes to live with them in the bustling city of Savannah, in the southern United States. Thus begins the incredible destiny of one who will grow up in a country on the eve of the Civil War, and fall madly in love with a free black man, before becoming 'the Mama' who will raise the irresistible Scarlett. Through three generations of women, the novel reveals the secret life and thoughts of Ruth, who, behind her facade of devoted servant, never loses hope of freedom. With love and resilience, Ruth remembers those who suffered the ravages of history. 'Sous le soleil de Savannah' offers a new perspective on one of the most beloved heroines of 'Gone With the Wind'.
