What do I have up for grabs today? Only In Darkness, a new book by Nick Lake!"Shorty" is a Haitian boy trapped in the ruins of a hospital when the earth explodes around him. Surrounded by lifeless bodies and growing desperately weak from lack of food and water, death seems imminent. Yet as Shorty waits in darkness for a rescue that may never come, he becomes aware of another presence, one reaching out to him across two hundred years of history. It is the presence of slave and revolutionary leader Toussaint L'Ouverture, whose life was marred by violence, and whose own end came in darkness. What unites a child of the slums with the man who would shake a troubled country out of slavery? Is it the darkness they share . . . or is it hope?

Oh my gosh. I've seen this book around before but I've never actually taken the time to see what it's about. It sounds phenomenal!
ReplyDeleteThis does sound like a fascinating book! Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like one of those books you know is going to break your heart, but you want to read it anyway. A coworker's aunt went to work triage after the earthquake there several years ago, and the pictures she brought still haunt me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway op!
Smiles!
