A total page-turner. Tragic and informative. This novel gives a powerful voice to the oppressed in the American slave trade.

I’m actually mad at myself because I waited so long to read this. I felt like I was on a rollercoaster of emotions reading this book.

When someone asks me for book recommendations, James will definitely be at the top of my list.
