Interesting and I loved learning about a really strong woman in history. I did this one on audio and would recommend it as I thought it was well narrated. 3.5 stars as I never really felt fully engaged and I wished that the setting was more a part of the story. I found myself more interested in the later half of the book. This was a long one and not one I would immediately recommend but if you are interested in meeting a strong woman from long ago who made an impact, maybe give this one a try.

Amazing! I’d never heard of Dorothy Kirwan Thomas before so I am thankful that Riley has brought her incredible life and legacy to our attention. More thoughts to come.
Ms. Dorothy Thomas was an amazingly resilient woman, but my goodness...she went through so much. I don't think I'm in the right mindset to be reading all this.

This book is so well researched and tells such a unique and important story. If you are in the mood for a sweeping epic, I highly recommend learning about Dorothy Kirwan Thomas. Her view on the history of the Caribbean across decades is so grounded in personal details and heavy emotions.
