challenging emotional informative reflective sad slow-paced

5.0

This is one of the best books I've ever read. It is filled with a wealth of information, giving flesh and voice to a condemned woman while also illuminating the buried history of slavery in Canada, and bringing old Montréal to life. I highly recommend it!
