This book is meticulously researched and full of historical details with resonance for the story. I learned a great deal about the circumstances of the slave trade and the varying circumstances of slaves from different regions and tribes. The book requires fairly slow, careful reading, but definitely rewards the patient reader. ( ) Questa recensione è stata scritta dall'autore.

Winner of the 2002 Commonwealth Prize for Best First Book. Thrust into a foreign land, passed from owner to owner, stripped of her identity. This is the life of Nandzi, who was given the name Ama, a name strange to her and her tribal culture. A life of struggle and resignation, bondage and freedom, passion and indifference, intense love and remorseless hate. Though forced into desperation, Ama never lets her soul be consumed by fear. While the stories of individual slaves have been blurred into one mass, Ama's story personifies the experience of eighteenth-century Africans in an unforgettable way. Her entrancing story of defiance and spiritual fire starts from the day she is brutally seized, raped, and enslaved, and ends with her breathing the pure air of freedom. Ama is a deeply engrossing and colorful novel, packed with violence, sex, and action. The resilience of her spirit will grip readers from the first page to the last of Manu Herbstein's spellbinding novel. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
