Two half-sisters are born in eighteenth-century Ghana. One marries a British slaver and lives in the Cape Coast Castle; the other is imprisoned beneath it and sold into slavery. The novel follows their descendants across three hundred years in Ghana and America.
Why we recommend it
Every chapter is a new life, and every life echoes the one before it. A brilliant book-club pick with plenty to unpack.
