This is a great read and hard to put down! It follows an 11 yr. old African girl from her village life to her capture by slavers in the mid-1700's. Each stage of her life from that point is described in detail. Just when you think you know what will happen next, new characters are introduced, and her life takes another turn. It is an epic tale that is rich and detailed. Written by a male author who depicts the heartaches, feelings and experiences of women with amazing accuracy, much the same as the author of Memoirs of a Geisha. Should be a classic. Excellent!
