From the bestselling author of The Other Boleyn Girl.

.Bristol in 1787 is booming, from its stinking docks to its elegant new houses. Josiah Cole, a small dockside trader, is prepared to gamble everything to join the big players of the city. But he needs ready cash and a well-connected wife.

An arranged marriage to Frances Scott is a mutually convenient solution. Trading her social contacts for Josiah’s protection, Frances enters the world of the Bristol merchants and finds her life and fortune dependent on the respectable trade of sugar, rum and slaves.

Once again Philippa Gregory brings her unique combination of a vivid sense of history and inimitable storytelling skills to illuminate a complex period of our past. Powerful, haunting, intensely disturbing, this is a novel of desire and shame, of individuals, of a society, and of a whole continent devastated by the greed of others.

A really good story, if a bit predictable. Has been made into a great listen by Adjoa Andohs stunning narration.

Superb performance

It bought the horrific slave trade to life. Beautifully written and so well read. I was sorry when it ended. I’d love a sequel.

Emotional

Always love Philippa Gregory - transported me back to this terrible time in history - the horrors of slavery, the ignorance of people and yet the underlying humanity …loved the narration too …can’t believe It was all read by one person …bravo Adjoa…..heartbreaking story

I found this a lot more interesting than I thought I would. It was well written and partially eye opening, for modern day people can never really know everything and how it felt in those times. But it was an excellent story and well worth reading or listening to. I’m pleased to have it in my collection.

Really interesting

I nearly stopped listening in the middle of Chaptet 2 because the story of capturing Africans in the 1700s me cry. I'm glad I carried on though. Yes it was a sad story but it (and the performance) drew me in so much

wonderful yet heartbreaking story
