Description
A Book of Secrets is set against the complex backdrop of Elizabethan England. Born in what is now Ghana, Susan Charlewood's life takes a dramatic turn when she is enslaved by the Portuguese before being rescued and brought to England.
She finds herself raised and educated in an English Catholic household, where she eventually marries into a family with a printing press business. When her husband dies, Susan takes over the business and uses her new position to uncover more about her origins. This gripping story offers a revealing glimpse into racial relationships on the eve of the transatlantic slave trade.
A compelling exploration of one woman's journey, A Book of Secrets is a thought-provoking tale that sheds light on a fraught time in history.
