Good historical fiction about a boy from India who travels to England and then is kidnapped and taken to the Virginia colony as an indentured servant. He is possibly the first person from the Indian subcontinent to arrive in the colonies in America.

This is an imaginative and evocative tale with some fascinating and well drawn characters. I liked Tony and enjoyed following him on his journey. It‘s not always a happy story and it‘s quite dark at times, but still there is a smattering of hope throughout. It‘s beautifully written, well researched and has some vivid and colourful descriptions, quite easy to visualise. An absorbing and powerful read. Ideal for historical fiction fans. #Pigeonhole
