On the Caribbean islands, slavery has just been abolished. Though not quite free, a mother goes looking for her stolen children and discovers her own strength, in Eleanor Shearer s moving novel "River Sing Me Home."
This heartwrenching debut is a beauty. We asked a selection of our book clubbers to join Rachel s tearjerking quest to find her children as slavery is abolished in this beautiful book about fractured families, freedom, loss and love.
Rest is needed, but with surviving another year in the 2020s amid an ongoing global pandemic, resilience is a pretty fitting theme to kick off 2023 in fiction.
