Description
SHORTLISTED FOR THE HISTORICAL WRITING ASSOCIATION GOLD CROWN AWARD
Based on a remarkable and little-known true story.
Martinique, 1765, and brothers Emile and Lucien are charged by their French master with a mission. They must return to Grenada, the island they once called home, and smuggle back forty-two slaves claimed by English invaders. While Lucien, barely in his teens, sees the trip as a great adventure, the older and worldlier Emile has no illusions of the true dangers they will face . . .
Jane Harris's third novel is both a heart-breaking trip into our troubled colonial past, and a stunning act of literary ventriloquism.
