Island Beneath the Sea by Isabel AllendeMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really, really enjoyed this book. It was like an Outlander book, but with more serious writing and more meticulously researched.
At its center was a young slave and her inexperienced master, who first meet in Saint-Domingue when he inherits his father's plantation. The story follows the two of them through several decades, and most interestingly though a major revolt that ultimately freed the slaves of S-D. There was plenty of heartache in this book, and violence - but also love and friendship.
All in all a wonderful read.
