Wake: The Hidden History of Women-Led Slave Revolts
by Rebecca Hall
challenging
emotional
informative
inspiring
reflective
sad
fast-paced
I loved this. It's exactly as described and beautifully told.
The artistry brings this to life, and I was enachanted with the beautiful depictions of black bodies. The mirroring settings from now and then brought to life the reality of the period the historical events occurred.
I loved that, rather than leaving a story unknown, Hall gave us a bit of guess-work in a fictional telling of the actions of the nameless women who died backed by historical accounts, the region, and time period.
I cried many times both sad for and proud of these women and their struggle. Truly a wonderful novel.
