River Sing Me Home was such a moving read on The Pigeonhole.
Set across Barbados, British Guiana and Trinidad in 1834, Rachel is driven to go and find her sold children when slavery is abolished. You would think that she would be free to do so, but when slavery was abolished, slave owners operated an apprentice scheme - which was simply the same terms and conditions as slavery. So Rachel has to be very careful and remain under the radar of slave catchers.
Rachel’s determination to find her children and her joy when she does find them, the brutality and inhumanity of the slave trade, Rachel’s experiences of love and loss, all add up to a really emotional reading experience.
Recommended.
