A review by brieizziye
The Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill
5.0
A very strong female character that you can instantly fall in love with. She is forever in the book figuring things out for herself and drawing conclusions from the new world around her. She never once is the victim, though realistically she is the whole time. Her intelligence is inspiring and really hits home how traits and talents can be the key to survival.
The book also holds a place in my heart as it is not a book simply about slavery and her story but following the slave trade, and how Africa (including African's aided in the capture of many) the journey from inner Africa to the ships, the ships to the new world, and back home.
It's a fairly easy read but has a few twist and turns.
