Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. *I won this book via the Goodreads First Reads giveaways* This was a VERY well written book. Renard's phrasing is incredible, and although this was one of the tougher reads I've had in a while, it was well worth it. My heart ached for Tom and how much he was misunderstood. I really enjoyed how it read as a work of non-fiction, instead of the historical fiction that it was. After hearing that it took Renard over 8 years to finally get this published, I can see where this book was a true labour of love. Very deep and emotional read, for sure. näyttää 2/2 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

But soon a stranger arrives from the mysterious island of Edgemere, inhabited solely by African settlers and black refugees from the war and riots, who intends to reunite Tom with his now-liberated mother."-- Page [4] of cover.
