Description
This story recounts the events in the life of "Wash" a field slave who is sold to naturalist, explorer, inventor and abolitionist Christopher Wilde. When a man is killed, a bounty is placed on Wash's head, and they are forced to abandon Wilde's work and flee, a journey that takes them along the eastern coast, eventually to the Arctic. From the blistering cane fields of the Caribbean to the frozen Far North, from the earliest aquariums of London to the eerie deserts of Morocco, this is a dazzling story of self-invention, betrayal, love and redemption, with a central theme of "what is true freedom?". [From publisher's description]
