I'm being super-lazy here but I like Sophie's review so much that I suggest just reading hers!

An interesting story about slavery in both Jamaica and England. I liked the fact that the author used real people to base the characters on.

A wonderfully written account of a period of British history I knew almost nothing about. Nat is such an engaging main character, I simply couldn’t put the book down once I started reading. Brilliant!

Wow this story packs a punch. Nathaniel a slave in Jamaica is brought to England by his owners to take of pineapple plants during the journey. He believes the there are no slaves in England and he will be free upon arrival. Unfortunately he discovers that this is not the truth upon arrival. He runs away and meets people who are to become influential. Beautifully written with Nathaniel as narrator.
