Description
Set in 18th century England and Africa, Coram Boy is a powerful tale of two boys: Toby, rescued from an African slave ship, and Aaron, the illegitimate heir to a great estate. It's also a story about fathers and sons, exploring the complex relationships between those who have power and those who are powerless.
The novel delves into themes of identity, belonging, and the consequences of one's actions, as two men struggle with their own sense of self and purpose. With its rich historical context and thought-provoking narrative, Coram Boy is a gripping and emotional read.
