Washington Black is an extraordinary tale of survival and freedom. When eleven-year-old field slave Washington Black finds himself selected as personal servant to eccentric naturalist Christopher 'Titch' Wilde, he embarks on a journey that will take him further than he ever dreamed possible. Inspired by a true story, this book tells the story of a world destroyed and made whole again through Washington's eyes. After Titch disappears, Washington must navigate the dangers of his new world alone, driven by the promise of freedom and the pursuit of his own destiny. A powerful and moving novel that explores themes of identity, morality and the human condition, Washington Black is a story that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
