A review by eswee
Gentleman in slavernij by Janny de Heer

informative sad medium-paced

3.25

Even though I didn't feel a connection to the characters in this story, the writing style feels a bit off, the historical aspects are very interesting to read about. It wasn't till I was halfway through, that I realized this novel was based on an actual German-Sranam family during the Dutch colonial period and ended up reading it in only one day. I do wish the writer could have added some more of the emotional connection, to make this a proper 4 star read.
