Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The narrative follows Cot Daley, who faces a harrowing journey from Galway, Ireland, to Barbados after being kidnapped and sold into indentured servitude. Kate McCafferty's debut novel intricately weaves Cot's personal struggles with the broader historical context of over fifty thousand Irish sold to Caribbean plantations. Through Cot's experiences—her brutal transport, grueling labor, marriage to an African slave, and the challenges faced by her children—the story highlights resilience and the fight against injustice in a deeply challenging era.
