The Novel Nomad | Washington Black | Mini Review | Adelaide Writers' Week 2019 @TheNovelNomad | Uploaded February 2019 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
Historical fiction from the perspective of a young black boy born into slavery on a Barbados plantation and is selected, taught and caught up in the magical and limitless world of science.
Beautiful writing easily captures your attention but Washington’s relentless questioning of the reason and dubious morality behind the actions of seemingly kind characters – makes you hold out to the last confrontation.

“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.” – J.D. Salinger
