One of England's most widely acclaimed young novelists adopts two eerily convincing narrative voices and juxtaposes their stories to devastating effect in this mesmerizing portrait of slavery. Cambridge is a devoutly Christian slave in the West Indies whose sense of justice is both profound and self-destructive, while Emily is a morally-blind, genteel Englishwoman.

Cambridge
Reviewing months or even weeks after reading a book has a mildly distorting effect. The mind latches on to those firework elements, their brightness seared into our memory although the accompanying smoke has blown away. Strangely, with this one, there was very little that remained. A burial at sea. A bloody murder. Looking at it again, I do recall that the voices were convincingly rendered. The story was a moving one. Only I felt the main narrator was a clumsy device, her coming as a stranger to this unspecified West Indian sugar plantation just after the abolition of the slave trade was a little too obvious a vehicle for some basic history lessons, and her coming at all was hardly credible. A nearly 30 year old single female, sent by her father from England to inspect the source of his wealth? What was he thinking?
