Über diesen Titel

Powerful, moving and redemptive, River Sing Me Home tells of a mother's desperate search to find her stolen children and her freedom.

We whisper the names of the ones we love like the words of a song. That was the taste of freedom to us, those names on our lips.

Mary Grace, Micah, Thomas Augustus, Cherry Jane and Mercy.

These are the names of her children. The five who survived, only to be sold to other plantations. The faces Rachel cannot forget.

It's 1834, and the law says her people are now free. But for Rachel freedom means finding her children, even if the truth is more than she can bear.

With fear snapping at her heels, Rachel keeps moving. From sunrise to sunset, through the cane fields of Barbados to the forests of British Guiana and on to Trinidad, to the dangerous river and the open sea.

Only once she knows their stories can she rest.

Only then can she finally find home.

Kritikerstimmen

Every once in a while, a book comes along that is so assured and so powerful you can't believe it's a debut novel. RIVER SING ME HOME is just such a book . . . Eleanor Shearer is a remarkable writer and she brings this story of a mother's courage to the page with compassion, tenderness and pitch-perfect prose (Natasha Lester, New York Times bestselling author of The Riviera House)

An extraordinary odyssey of pain, love, and homecoming . . . RIVER SING ME HOME is a haunting and powerful debut (Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Diamond Eye)

A strong and beautiful novel that stares into the face of brutality and the heart of love (Jeanette Winterson)

Shearer tells the story of a woman looking for her children. What is a fascinating reflection of a history not too long back, quickly turns into an emotional travel and just like the Rachel the reader finds themself on a river with her, just as eager and desperate to find her children.

A beautiful and heart warming (and breaking story) of the love of a mother.

this is a book worth reading (or listening to)!

Beautiful and emotional story
