5.0 out of 5 stars A beautifully written book, 27 Nov 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Feeding the Ghosts (Paperback)
'Feeding the Ghosts' illustrates the terrible, terrible wickedness of the slave trade. Slaves, bound for the new world, were not infrequently thrown overboard if they succumbed to the awful conditions they suffered in the filthy, overcrowded holds in which they were shackled. Descriptions of the callous, almost casual cruelty they were subjected to, are harrowing to read. But the book is not without hope. Minta, the female African slave central to the story, demonstrates a courage and humanity that lifts the spirit and has the reader praying for her survival and wellbeing.

Mr. D'Aguiar has also written poetry. It shows in a prose which is often as lyrical as it is powerful. A beautifully written book about one of the most shameful periods in Britain's and America's history, it is very well worth reading.
