Synopsis
D'Aguiar's third novel is a tale set on a slave ship en route to the New World. When disease breaks out, the captain orders that those who are ill must be thrown overboard so he can collect insurance. A slave named Mintah, who speaks English, gives her version when the voyage is over and the captain is brought to trial.

Industry Reviews
"The storyline alone would be compelling, but with the lyrical detailing throughout..., this becomes a tale as beautiful in the telling as it is horrific in reality."
Chomsky
"This novel is historical but literary and intelligent....D'Aguiar beautifully captures the harshness and brutality of a slave ship....As difficult as it is to deal with such brutality without resorting to cliché, D'Aguiar succeeds."
Bloomsbury Review - Michael Salkind (09/01/1999)
