Two worlds,connected by the insult of slavery,are explored in this powerful novel: the Caribbean plantation hierachy in its every shade of prejudice; and England,at a time when the abolition of slavery was official,but London 'bird and
beast shops' still sold African children like pets.It is a shocking and unforgettable account of inhumanity - of a
self-pronounced Christian nation resistant to black religious conversion because all people might suddenly recognize that they were equal under God.Author's fourth novel.See also book ID's rja1865,rja1866.
