Sister Mother Warrior
Ratings1
Average rating4
Overall, this was an incredible story full with history. Vanessa Riley did a great job capturing the time period with her writing. It started off kinda slow, mainly because there’s so much history packed in, but once I got into it, I was drawn into the lives of these two heroic women. We so often hear about the men of the Haitian Revolution, so it was powerful to learn about the roles Gaou Adbaraya Toya and Marie-Claire Bonheur Dessalines played.
