    Aminata Diallo is the beguiling heroine of Lawrence Hill's Someone Knows My Name. In it, Hill exquisitely imagines the tale of an 18th-century woman's life, spanning six decades and three continents. The fascinating story that Hill tells is a work of the soul and the imagination. Aminata is a character who will stir listeners, from her kidnapping from Africa through her journeys back and forth across the ocean.

    Any additional comments?

    I loved this book and plan to add it to my library. I don't know why I never heard of this book, but I plan to tell everyone about it. It answered a lot of questions I have had about the history of my people and the History of slavery in the USA as well as England. So many things I never knew and was at no time taught in school. Really wish it would have remained named The Book of Negroes. As that is the original title. While listening to this book even my fiance who is African had to put his beloved television to rest and sit and listen to this book with me while I sipped on my tea with honey.

    If you have a pulse you must read this book.

    Would you listen to A Million Suns again? Why?

    yes. I loved the two books in this trilogy a lot and did not want it to end. I was worried at first that it would be another sci fi book with too much techno babel, but no this was perfection


    Any additional comments?

    The narrator on both books did an awesome jobs. In the way it was written it was easy to follow and a pleasure read. very exciting and I cannot wait until the third book. I hope I don't have to wait a year for it.
