pickA slow burn that is worth persevering with because it is both heartbreaking and beautiful. It is based on real events - a part of history that I knew nothing about- the kidnap of over 400 people from Iceland by barbery pirates. The FMC was a real woman, with a real story that has been fictionalised, but there are so many historical facts, that this is a powerful story ❣️
I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!

I do NOT recommend the audio version of this book. The narrator does not distinguish voices well between characters so it often sounds like the same character talking to himself. There are also lots of jumps in time and between places within chapters and the narrator doesn‘t so much as pause between them so it can be downright confusing as to what‘s happening and when. I‘m barely hanging on to the plot. Fortunately I‘m almost done with it.
