The Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill

4.0

---

This book was chosen for One Book, One Calgary otherwise I might not have been drawn to it. I learned a lot more than I had planned on, and about my own country too! Aminata is a strong-willed and resourceful heroine, her journey was both tragic and uplifting. In short, this was an epic adventure with a main character I really liked, that didn’t get bogged down in history. Recommended for people who like an adventure, are interested in African history, or enjoy it when girls kick butt.
