Description
Description
Washington Black by Esi Edugyan is an award-winning historical novel about slavery, freedom, identity, and the extraordinary journey of a young boy seeking a life beyond the world into which he was born.
Eleven-year-old Washington Black is enslaved on a Barbados sugar plantation when he is chosen to assist Christopher Wilde, an eccentric English naturalist, inventor, explorer, and abolitionist. Through Wilde, Washington discovers science, flight, exploration, and the possibility of a different future. But after a sudden death places Washington in danger, the two flee, beginning a remarkable journey that stretches from the eastern United States to the Canadian Arctic, London, and Morocco.
Winner of the 2018 Scotiabank Giller Prize, this sweeping novel combines adventure with a powerful exploration of freedom, belonging, betrayal, and self-discovery.
