Blonde Roots by Bernardine Evaristo
dark
tense
medium-paced

It's a well written book but just transplanting the race of those enslaved doesn't actually seem that much more imaginative to me? Secondly, it's more of a(n imagined) historical account and could have done with more character exploration that relies less on the cultural recognition of white english people.
