david_megginson's review against another edition
3.0
The personal relationships in this book are strong, but the whitewashing of British enslavement, not so much. Either Mr Kent didn't know or chose not to acknowledge that while the UK banned the "slave trade" in 1807 (closer to the time of this novel than a reader would think), it didn't ban actual enslavement until 1833. Generations of Black people were still to be born into enslavement places like Antigua. Jamaica, and even Canada.
