One person found this helpful. Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. I really enjoyed this version of storytelling of one of the country's first Afro-American female poet.

Luckily for this skinny little girl standing naked aside from just a piece of carpet at the slave auction, she was bought by the kindest and most humanitarian couple that could have ever existed. One of only 2 little girls of just 7 years who survived this particular inhumane crossing. A hang a thousand trees with ribbons pdf download that cost her own mother her life when she was murdered a crew member who threw her overboard, hacking off her hands to ensure she could not save herself.
All witnessed by the brilliantly intelligent girl from Africa. Ever questioning those around her, including her master's son and mentor, Nathaniel, whom she falls in love with and suffers un reciprocated feelings, hang a thousand trees with ribbons pdf download, Phillis strives in her own way to gain a high level of education, almost unknown to women in the 18th Century let alone a black woman.
She is feted both in America and even more so in England for her poetry. The most poignant bit of the story to me is the part where Nathaniel takes Phillis to the docking of the latest slave ship at Boston Harbour. He says to Phillis 'If there is anyone on board that you know, tell me and I will hang a thousand trees with ribbons pdf download them for you'.
My heart broke to hear that and to think of the terrible injustices carried out against these poor, innocent black people. There were however, white people who had the kindness in their heart to know this was wrong and to go against the thinking of that period when black people were considered inferior in every way, and could be bought and sold.
The background history in this story, the treatment of slaves and the insight into 18th century life is to me greater than the story of the poet. However I am a little disappointed that no pieces of PW's poetry were included in the story as this would surely have added to it. From the opening it draws the reader into the period with it skilful portrayal of slavery and the wish to be free evoking the reader into many mixed emotions. A heart rending tale combining the talents and success of Phllis Wheatley with an insight into America and the spoils of war.
Thoroughly recommendable and a wonderful introduction to the author. I cannot wait to read another Ann Rinaldi Novel. Thank you for your feedback. Sorry, we failed to record your vote.
