This multigenerational tale takes one on a journey that starts with an encircling rope net; progresses to a filthy, stifling slave ship; and ends at a rich slave estate where unthinkable acts take place. The thorny history of the birthplace of slavery comes to life with unforgettable characters yearning for liberty, meaning, and ... justice About the Author Lucia Mann is a former British journalist and the author of three previous African-set novels devoted to slavery and racial prejudice: "Beside an Ocean of Sorrow," "Rented Silence" (CBC Book Award winner), and "Africa's Unfinished Symphony."
