Description

Sam's Boy by Geoffrey Finch is a historical fiction novel that explores the life of Frank Barber, a young black man who begins to question his identity and search for answers about his past. Set against the backdrop of 18th-century England, the story delves into themes of guilt, pain, and self-discovery. Through fictional memoirs and diary entries, Finch vividly recreates the experiences of life in Johnson's household, shedding light on the complexities of success and its accompanying demons. As Frank navigates his journey to uncover the truth about his roots, he must confront the possibility that it may come at a great personal cost. This thought-provoking novel offers a unique perspective on the history of black England during the late 18th century, inviting readers to reflect on their own understanding of identity and community.
