A review by kristensreadingnook
African Town by Charles Waters, Irene Latham
5.0
Thank you @prhaudio for a complimentary audiobook.
In this unique historical fiction novel-in-verse, we hear from multiple different perspectives, including the ship that brought the last group of enslaved people from Africa to the plantations of the US, even after importing slaves was outlawed. After the Cicil War was over, a village called African Town was formed, which is where the book derives its name.
With a full cast of characters, the audiobook really brought the story to life.
4.5 stars
