I Loved a Slave

De: Sinmisola Ogunyinka

Narrado por: Ellie Marshall

Johnny Holt Jr. comes home to Kentucky for the summer to find his father, JJ, has made alliances with a notorious slave owner, Spanish-born Edmond Maguerro, to turn Holt Lands into a million-dollar plantation.

Johnny is indifferent. Much as he hates the idea because of his liberal views about slavery, he doesn’t involve himself until he meets Elisa, one of his father’s new slaves. Johnny is smitten and convinced Elisa belongs with him in New York, where he is a law student at a prestigious college or any other world where the society is colorblind. And he goes all out to remove her from slavery and into that world.

Set in the 1800s American slavery era, I Loved a Slave follows the story of two lovers as they make their way through circumstances beyond their control to escape their reality and live in a world best imagined.

Captivating story

I love the suspense and the twists and turns in this story. Great story with happy ending.

Wow, Very excellent audiobook for me!

I am looking forward to listening to it again, I know I missed parts. This audiobook is full of Truth and encouragement.

A Book full of Survival!

This book had lots of history written, but I loved that Eliza never gave up. She had a spirit of survival. I loved how she and Johnny were able to find their way back to each other. They were always connected in the Spirit.

challenging

wow! just WOW! The reader was simply awful. I don't know where she got that terrible slang dialect? her pronunciation of several words were laughable. I was so glad to get to its end.
The book was ok. a lot was left to the imagination. The ending was disappointing.
