Descriere magazin:
For those who love epic stories, this gripping page-turner unveils the brutality of imperialism in Ireland and the Caribbean Island of Jamaica. A historical saga you will devour, pause to regroup, and never forget. West Cork, Ireland, 1846: Desperate and half-starved, an Irishman boards a hurricane-battered ship to the Caribbean. But life away from Ireland is also bleak. The ship is attacked by pirates, his best friend is killed, and he arrives on a stunning, distressful, slave-scourged island. Jamaica, West Indies, 1846 - 1849: Sean O\'Sullivan barely endures his work as overseer for the cruelest British planter in Jamaica. Britain is forced to abolish slavery, but angry planters continue to brutalize and subjugate blacks. Rebellions erupt and activists are lynched. O\'Sullivan quietly resists planter abuse and creates thriving farming communities owned by his ex-slaves. How will he survive, as uprisings continue to flare and a well-respected human rights activist returns home to Jamaica; his name is Marcus Garvey. Editorial Reviews ...fascinating characters and events. ...a dramatic and heart-wrenching story of suffering, hope, and redemption. And freedom! Moving and inspiring. The worst and the best of us... I enjoyed this book very much and encourage all to buy it and be blessed.-J. André Weisbrod, Financial Adviser, Speaker, and Award-Winning Author of Don\'t Ever Take Away My Freedom by Thomas Patrick Locke Kudos to author Norma Jennings for writing this entertaining, essential, meaningful and historical account. This was like having spinach in your cake (if you hated spinach); you are not aware you are getting the well needed literary and historical nutrients, because it\'s sooooooo goooooood!!!!-Jeffrey Anderson-Gunter, Producer/Director/Actor/Founder and Artistic Director of The Caribbean American Repertory Theatre ... a fantastic page-turner of fiction embellished with facts. It was such a heartbreaking tale that I needed time to regroup after reading. Set in the mid to late 1800s, this book will appeal to historians and everyone who loves epic stories. This novel explored resilience, betrayal, selflessness, suffering, grit, survival, hope, and courage...Please, write more, Norma.-Jennifer Ibiam for Readers\' Favorite
