If Dodger were awake, she’d happily tell him exactly how much of her blood is on the floor. And when she stops breathing, so does he. She doesn’t, no pun intended, have it in her.

An ownership document which may or may not be genuine. Their payment? The possibility of finding a long-lost love. Two brothers are given a seemingly impossible task by the religious community that enslaves them - to sail from Martinique to Grenada and rescue over forty slaves (that the Church believes they own) then sail back again to Martinique. The plot covered a variety of themes- the cruelty and horror of slavery the competition between nations for profit from sugar cane the perfidy and hypocrisy of the Church in relation to slavery and the money they made from it plus betrayal and how risky it was for any slave even to contemplate escape, let alone actually help fellow slaves to accompany you during an escape attempt. This novel is based, I believe, on a true story and it certainly was an interesting storyline. ![]() |
