The beginning was slow, and I wasn’t sure where the plot was going, but I was deeply moved by the end. It’s written in Jamaican dialect, and I appreciated the authenticity there. A moving story of slave women on a Jamaican plantation. This was, by no means, an easy read... But it was worth reading nonetheless. I highly recommend it.

My, oh, my, oh, my. This was FANTASTIC. Has moved up to the top spot of audio recordings. Not easy to listen to, very graphic depiction of slavery in the 1700's, but worth every millisecond.

The writing was too difficult for me to understand and follow.

Loved this book, could not put it down. A different sort of slavery story, even though it's in the same vein as Beloved or Book of Negroes. I highly recommend it!
