Martinique, 1765. Brothers Emile and Lucien are charged by their French master, Father Cleophas, with a mission. They must return to Grenada, the island they once called home, and smuggle back 42 slaves claimed by English invaders. While Lucien, barely in his teens, sees the trip as a great adventure, Emile has no illusions about the dangers they will face. But with no choice other than to obey, he sets out with his brother on a reckless venture.

Critic reviews

"It is rare to read a literary novel where the storytelling is as skilful as the writing is fine, [...] Harris has pulled off the only too rare double whammy." ( The Sunday Times)
Praise for the author: "Jane Harris is rather special." ( The Observer)

I’ve been working through Jane Harris’s novels and this is as good as the other two I’ve read. Loved it, beautifully written and narrated. James Goode is just the perfect voice for the narrator, Lucien, and the other characters whose speech he voices.

Haunting, beautiful book

As a huge fan of Jane Harris I was a tad disappointed with the end bit. I think maybe I shall read the book to see if I can get a different perspective. The Narration was just superb I think I was mesmerized by listening to the story rather than fully understanding the plot.

Amazing Naration

Quite slow in parts. The ending was quite abrupt and left lots of loose ends.
Narration was excellent

Excellent Performance

Jane Harris what a book, it makes my heartache listening as you describe the lives of the slaves and your use of language makes the book authentic and adds interest.

The narrator is a gifted, he brings the book alive and his accents of all nationalities are more than believable and his emotion as he reads reminds us all of the evilness of slavery.

Well worth an credit!
