K's review
Cambridge by Caryl Phillips
This is the first of this kind of book for me. So far there's been a narrative from an Englishwoman who has travelled to the West Indies in the early 1800s to look at her fathers Sugar Estate.
The Estate is cultivated by slaves and the book provides quite a bit of insight into the ongoing debate at that time on whether slavery was good or not.
The second part of the book is a short commentary by one of the 'slaves' Cambridge - this was the part i liked the most
Overall, quite a good book
