Description
Susan Charlewood's story is one of resilience and determination in the face of adversity. Born into slavery in what would become Ghana, she was rescued by British sailors and brought to England, where she was raised and educated in an English Catholic household. As Susan comes of age, her life takes a dramatic turn when she marries John Charlewood, who runs a printing press supplying illicit Catholic texts to the Papist nobility. After his death, Susan inherits the business and uses her new position to uncover the truth about her origins. This gripping tale offers a revealing glimpse into the complex racial relationships on the eve of the transatlantic slave trade. A Book of Secrets is a compelling exploration of one woman's journey towards self-discovery in a time of great social change.
