bv94 's review for:

Someone Knows My Name by Lawrence Hill
5.0

At 5'2" Aminata Diallo maybe small in stature but there's nothing diminutive about her character as she journeys from Bayo to America to Canada and finally to England. This book was so beautifully written, so woeful yet so gripping.

".....what is it meant to be a slave; your past didn't matter, in the present you are invisible and you had no claim on the future"

How one imperious group of people decide to treat another race with such disdain is gut wrenching.
