Reviews
An inspirational novel of imaginative excellence and captivating power.... Every step of the way, Lawrence Hill offers readers a vivid portrayal of the emotional landscape that brings Aminata's tale to life. I highly recommend reading this poignant book., Stunning, wrenching and inspiring.... Hill handles the pacing and tension masterfully... [his] book is a harrowing, breathing tour de force., With grace and compassion, Hill populates true and harrowing experience with an authentic hero--just as good historical fiction requires., Astonishing in scope, humanity and beauty, this is one of those very rare novels in which the deep joy of reading transcends its time and place. Like To Kill a Mockingbird, Someone Knows My Name lets readers experience a life, one footstep at a time, beside an unforgettable protagonist., I found myself surprised on occasion to catch sight of Mr. Hill's name on the cover.... He had me believing that this tale came not from the imagination and research of a 21st-century male author, but from the experience of an 18th-century African woman., Lawrence Hill's hugely impressive historical work is completely engrossing and deserves a wide, international readership., Astonishing in scope, humanity and beauty, this is one of those very rare novels in which the deep joy of reading transcends its time and place. Like ?To Kill a Mockingbird?, ?Someone Knows My Name? lets readers experience a life, one footstep at a time, beside an unforgettable protagonist.

Synopsis
Winner of the Commonwealth Writers' Prize. "Wonderfully written...populated by vivid characters and rendered in fascinating detail." --Nancy Kline, New York Times Book Review, Kidnapped from Africa as a child, Aminata Diallo is enslaved in South Carolina but escapes during the chaos of the Revolutionary War. In Manhattan she becomes a scribe for the British, recording the names of blacks who have served the King and earned their freedom in Nova Scotia. But the hardship and prejudice of the new colony prompt her to follow her heart back to Africa, then on to London, where she bears witness to the injustices of slavery and its toll on her life and a whole people. It is a story that no listener, and no reader, will ever forget. Published in Canada as The Book of Negroes and the basis for the award-winning BET miniseries of the same name.

    The Hallmark Red Heart Pin was exactly as pictured and described. It had free shipping and came in a plastic package. The seller promptly mailed the pin so it arrived in a timely manner. A good value for the entire cost.

    Received the milk bottle today. It was packaged very well. It is just as described, actually it looks better seeing it in person. This is probably one of my favorite milk bottles to date as I just love that it has the Statue of Liberty on it ! Great price too! Thank you for helping to make this a smooth transaction!

    Best book I ever read.

    Following the main character through life as a slave in South Africa and the United States in such a personal story was fascinating. This non-fiction book is a must read. So beautifully written. Quite possibly the best book I ever read!
