Publisher's Synopsis
Over half a million slaves were transported on ships from Bristol and the city prospered on the wealth produced from slave plantations. Its appalling legacy lies far deeper than the statues and traders' names currently in the headlines - it is ingrained in the foundations of the city. The inhumane treatment endured by generations of men, women and children haunts the very warp and weft of the city.Can the present ever escape the past?Tom and Sarah share a flat outside Bristol until Tom receives news of an unexpected legacy - a rundown, Georgian property near the harbour. As they start to restore the house, dark secrets emerge from the shadows. The ghosts of the past have not been laid to rest and will now be heard whatever the cost.
