Unabridged Audiobook
Awesome !!!
I am new to audiobooks because i usually just read myself. But I must say this was Beautifully narrated and written. I initially listened to a Brief History of Seven Killings by Marlon James which i also enjoyed. I own both of the actual books but in listening it was an unforgettable experience. The voice, tone, events and all put me into that time era. Looking forward to enjoying more audiobooks.
It was a very challenging book, but well worth hanging on/persevering. The characters will be indelibly etched in my imagination; I did not want it to end. Like the author, I'm Jamaican. The book also reminded me of the forgotten family folklore about our Maroon, Indian and Scottish heritage. I should probably do a 23 and Me test to investigate this further. Looking forward to enjoying more tiles by this author.
One of the best book I have encountered on Caribbean slavery. It is raw and honest depiction of the history we are often afraid to confront. Beautiful piece of work.
