About Washington Black by Esi Edugyan
Set in the world of slavery, Washington Black begins on a Barbados sugar plantation, where eleven-year-old Wash is chosen by Christopher “Titch” Wilde, an explorer, scientist, inventor, and abolitionist. Their relationship takes Wash beyond the life he has known, but a killing and a bounty on his head force them into flight.
From the Caribbean to the Arctic and beyond, Wash must face separation and begin again. Esi Edugyan’s 2018 historical novel will appeal to readers interested in literary fiction about slavery, race, freedom, and the search for a life shaped by one’s own choices.
