Every now and again you happen by a book that, from the first few pages, is simply superb. This is a tremendously well written book that captures the spirit of slaves, ranging from beaten down submission to unshakeable faith in the idea of being free. The characters in this book do not follow any kind of cliche. They are three-dimensional and riveting. This is a wonderful book.
