Love and conscience collide in Britain’s slave trade
Good Condition – light cover and spine wear, some page tanning.
In eighteenth-century Bristol, merchant Josiah Cole sees the slave trade as his path to wealth and social respectability. His marriage to Frances Scott brings refinement to his ambitions, but her growing bond with Mehuru, an enslaved African, forces her to confront the human cost of the business sustaining their lives. Philippa Gregory combines historical detail, moral conflict and forbidden love in a powerful novel about commerce, complicity and the courage required to challenge an accepted injustice.
