Description

Dorothy Kirwan Thomas's remarkable story is one of transformation and triumph. Born into slavery on Montserrat, she bought her freedom and built a legacy that spanned the Caribbean and South America. With intelligence, wit, and determination, Dorothy navigated the complex web of colonial power and relationships, leveraging the attention of men who sought to control her. Her journey took her from the bustling port cities of the West Indies to the drawing rooms of London's elite, where she defied rigid morality and oppression to forge a path of autonomy. This sweeping historical novel brings Dorothy's story vividly to life, offering an unforgettable portrait of a true larger-than-life woman who made her mark on history.
