Review: Blood & Sugar

Blood & Sugar by Laura Shepherd-Robinson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is Laura Shepherd-Robinson's debut novel. Set in the 18th century and is an brutally atmospheric and emotional tale of the horrific slave trade in London, England and the British Empire itself.

A woman is missing and her brother is trying to investigate, as a slavery abolitionist, the powers that be want to stop him, at any cost. A mix of politics, slavery, murder, racism and absolute greed this is a complex and heartbreaking tale. A thought provoking, marvellous piece of historical fiction. It’s hard to understand how people can be so cruel to each other.

I would like to thank the Author/the Publishers/NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book for free in exchange for a fair and honest review
