Slaves Cottage is a 1935 novel by the American writer George L. Howe. It was the debut novel of Howe, and takes place in contemporary New England.[1][2] Howe later went on to serve in the OSS and enjoyed great success with his novel Call It Treason in 1949.[3]
Synopsis
On the coast of New England the Vandeleur family are living in the cramped surroundings of the cottage once used to house slaves. They are descended from a noted eighteenth century slave trader but now shorts of funds are waiting for a large inheritance that they believe will change their fortunes. They retain a stand-offish attitude with the local villagers.
