River Sing Me Home

By Eleanor Shearer.

5 stars

The story is set in the Caribbean after the abolition of slavery in 1834 and follows Rachel, an enslaved woman who embarks on a harrowing journey across Barbados, British Guiana, Trinidad, and beyond to find her children who were sold away during slavery. The novel is inspired by the true stories of women who searched for their stolen children post-abolition. It explores themes of motherhood, freedom, and the strength of the human spirit. Rachel's story vividly portrays the resilience required to reclaim not only her children but also her sense of self and history in a world that has sought to erase her identity.
