The Book of Negroes

I really enjoyed this novel a lot, written by a Canadian author, and based on “The Book of Negroes” which is a historical document that contains the names and descriptions of 3,000 men, women, and children who served the British during the American Revolutionary War and still survives to this day, it makes for a very compelling, powerful and interesting read. Though some of the book is similar to other stories about slavery and the slave trade, the Canadian connection was new to me, so I found that to be especially interesting as I myself am a Canadian. A well researched and well written novel that brings fact and fiction together into one amazing read!
