Storm Over Sabrehill by Raymond Giles
Obviously not a popular book judging by the lack of reviews on here but I thought it was excellent.
I read it quite a while ago while on vacation and felt it is a very touching love story between two slaves. I’ve never read anything else that the author had written before and I really appreciated this work of historical fiction which is very underrated judging by the lack of reviews.
Adaba and Gillie are in love. Both are slaves. Sadly Gillie is sold..to a white master who also desires her. Adaba is devastated and vows to find her.
I found the Prose to be beautiful and the book likewise was a heart breaker. I do hate the cover because it makes it look like a bodice ripper and it really isn’t.
Besides the love story it really shows the brutality of that time period and the treatment of the slaves. I know there are thousands of books out there, better kn own that do the same (and I have read many) but if you like romance..tragic romances and Historical Fiction you might enjoy Storm over Sabrehill. I did!… (mehr)
