Beschreibung

<p><b>A <i>Sunday Times</i> bestseller, shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and a BBC Between the Covers Book Club pick</b></p><p><b>Introduction by Sara Collins</b><br>_____</p><p>You do not know me yet but I am the narrator of this work. My son Thomas, who is printing this book, tells me it is customary at this place in a novel to give the reader a little taste of the story that is held within these pages. As your storyteller, I am to convey that this tale is set in Jamaica during the last turbulent years of slavery and the early years of freedom that followed.<br><br> Perhaps, my son suggests, I might write that it is a thrilling journey through that time in the company of people who lived it. All this he wishes me to pen so the reader can decide if this is a novel they might care to consider. Cha, I tell my son, what fuss-fuss. Come, let them just read it for themselves.<br>_____<br><br><b>'A marvel of luminous storytelling'</b><br> <b><i>Financial Times</i></b><br><b><br><i>'</i>Levy has a rare ability to channel the maelstrom of history into the most intimate of human dramas'</b><br><b><i>New Statesman</i></b></p>
