Industry Reviews
"Guyanese poet Fred D'Aguiar won two prestigious English awards (Whitbread and David Higgins) for this exceptional first novel about slavery...D'Aguiar writes with a poet's economy of language as well as a poet's sensitivity in this spare, eloquent tragedy."
Los Angeles Times Book Review - Charles Solomon (02/04/1996)
"...a spare, often luminous novel [that gains] power through its emotional restraint."
New York Times Book Review - Michael E. Ross
