Why read it?
1 author picked Sugar Money as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Another slavery narrative that doesn’t pull any punches. Set in Martinique 1765, it tells the tale of brothers Emile and Lucien, who are charged by their French master, Father Cleophas, with a mission. They must return to Grenada, the island they once called home, and smuggle back 42 slaves claimed by English invaders. A gruesomely compelling story.
From Michael's list on dark historical fiction.
