"a highly impressive novel"

Written by Michael Mitchell for Journal of Indentureship and Its Legacies on Friday, June 28th, 2024
"a highly impressive novel with skilful characterization, convincing dialogue, evocative natural descriptions, and a differentiated narrative persona alternating curiosity and protective reticence in a style that can range from sly humour to a haunting sense of the uncanny. Above all it is informed with a serious intention which wears its scholarly familiarity with the social and historical background lightly and deals with themes that are burningly relevant today."
