'A book you will not forget for a long time'
Glamour
Rachel is searching for her children.
The five who survived, only to be sold to other plantations. The faces she cannot forget.
It is 1834, and the law says her people are now free. But for Rachel freedom means finding her children, even if the truth is more than she can bear.
With fear snapping at her heels, Rachel keeps moving. From sunrise to sunset, through the cane fields of Barbados to the forests of British Guiana and on to Trinidad, to the dangerous river and the open sea. Only once she knows their stories can she rest.
Only then can she finally find home.

Notă biografică
Eleanor Shearer is a mixed-race writer and the granddaughter of Windrush generation immigrants. She splits her time between London and Ramsgate so that she never has to go too long without seeing the sea. For her Master's degree in Politics at the University of Oxford, Eleanor studied the legacy of slavery and the case for reparations. Her fieldwork was in St. Lucia and Barbados.
Descriere
A mother can never be free until she finds her children... A gripping, soaring and redemptive novel of a mother's determination to put the fragments of her family back together.
'A strong and beautiful novel that stares into the face of brutality and the heart of love' Jeanette Winterson
'Magnificent and epic. A story about love and the power it brings us' ' Frank Cottrell-Boyce
'A powerful story, beautifully told' Jessica Moor
'It slices you open, lays out your parts, reassembles them and knits you back up again. A powerful account of love, loss, defiance... Breathtaking' Chikodili Emelumadu
'Beautiful... A masterclass in how to speak of unspeakable things' Meg Clothier
----------------------------
We whisper the names of the ones we love like the words of a song. That was the taste of freedom to us, those names on our lips.
Mary Grace, Micah, Thomas Augustus, Cherry Jane and Mercy.
These are the names of her children. The five who survived, only to be sold to other plantations. The faces Rachel cannot forget.
It's 1834, and the law says her people are now free. But for Rachel freedom means finding her children, even if the truth is more than she can bear.
With fear snapping at her heels, Rachel keeps moving. From sunrise to sunset, through the cane fields of Barbados to the forests of British Guiana and on to Trinidad, to the dangerous river and the open sea.
Only once she knows their stories can she rest. Only then can she finally find home.
