Is the next called soldiers??
Blood and Sugar by Laura Shepherd-Robinson
Murder mystery set in 1781 that focuses on the horrors of the slave trade. It was Shepherd-Robinson's debut novel, and it was a strong start. I feel as though she's still developing her own literary voice, but it was a good read. It also showcased an aspect of the injustice of slavery that I've never considered before, the financial side. Despite the horrific actions of the slavers their only crime, according to the law, was insurance fraud. Really brings home how dehumanising the whole institution was.
I'll probably read Shepherd-Robinson's second book in the future.
You know, between the slavery, the sexual blackmail, the dead dog, and the murders, there wasn't much time for jollinessJesus. That sounds like a jolly read.
What happened to the other passengers??I am currently reading s book called Hatchet.
It’s about a boy who’s struggling after his parents got divorced, and is taking a plane to meet his father, but his pilot has a heart attack, and the boy tries to land the plane in a small lake and succeeds. Now it’s up to him to survive in the green Canadian wilderness with only a hatchet his mother gave him. A very good read, would recommend it!
