I tried this multi award winning book after reading reviews online. I'm a senior and much like Fantasy and SF books, I really had trouble with this one. It's not that the book isn't written well as you can see by my rating, It's due to the fact that so many characters were introduced thru out the book but all had African names, from different villages. This also involves time periods from 1750 - modern times and 1/2 of the book taking place in Africa & 1/2 in America. All the characters in the book are related in 1 way or another thru out the 200 yr span (Author included a Genealogy Tree).
And of course due to the subject of the book (Slavery Trade) very sad to be reminded of those events.
If you like award winning historical fiction then try this out! David N.
