Opis

Set in 18th-century Bristol, this novel charts one man's efforts to move to the wealthy sector of the city - at any cost. To this end, he becomes involved in slave-trading. This is a tale of his ambition, and the plight of one African in particular, brought over to be trained as a model slave.
