The Moor's Account by Laila Lalami

4.5

This story about Spanish colonisers in the Americas was surprisingly complex and layered about the types of hardships they both caused and endured. Told from the perspective of a slave, Mustafa’s detailed and honest account of the horrors that took place were hard to read yet I could not put the book down. I did feel the pacing fell in a few places in the book and I lost momentum reading. But other than that I really enjoyed it.
