The Book of Negroes

Whoa. Seriously. Whoa.

This book is truly a masterpiece. It's a moving historical fiction based on one woman's experience from growing up loved by her parents in a small African village, to being kidnapped and sold into slavery in the U.S. It's a very sad story, but also a story of redemption and hope.

It's fantastic. Highly recommended. And the author is from Canada! YAY!

I'm now into Elizabeth Gilbert's "Committed." She wrote my favourite book, "Eat, Pray, Love", so I'm excited to see how this follow-up book will turn out!
