The Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill
5.0

Amazing book, so well written. Its long but I read it fast as it is easy to follow.
I learned a great deal about the history of slavery, with some Canadian content too. Aminata, the main character, is an extremely strong woman in all senses of the word. She helps out so many people when even she has lost everything.
Inspiring but sorrowful. A real tear jerker, so be prepared!
