Description
A dramatic and intriguing true Georgian tale of love, betrayal and survival.
Lucy, a strong-willed girl from a wealthy family, was brought up on the English-Welsh border and married a Caribbean plantation owner, Sam Lord, for love, meanwhile he married her for her fortune, at a time when a woman was a chattel and everything she had, including her children, became her husband's.
Abused and imprisoned in Barbados, she escaped with the help of enslaved people.
A vibrant intimate description of early 19th-century life - giving birth at sea, braving disease and cruelty, and witnessing the abject misery of slavery - this is a story of courage in adversity, a runaway marriage to an unfaithful husband and a descent from a life of pampered luxury to a struggle for survival in a far-off land.
