This is the last of my Trans-World Reading Challenge until next year.
This book is about revenge from a man who is bitter and decided to take his power and wealth as a means to try to destroy another man's life and reputation. Andrew, the author, used the era of King Charles, the history of Barbados, and the war commanded by Cromwell to a make a fiction novel of Tobias Rush's manipulations to end Thomas' life. It is an interesting history with a mixture of loyalty, mistrust, cruelty of landowners toward slaves and the general attitude of the British people toward their monarchy!
