Cambridge

One of England's most widely acclaimed young novelists adopts two eerily convincing narrative voices and juxtaposes their stories to devastating effect in this mesmerizing portrait of slavery. Cambridge is a devoutly Christian slave in the West Indies whose sense of justice is both profound and self-destructive, while Emily is a morally-blind, genteel Englishwoman. More »

[ 1.0 stars ] "i think that if you read a book and vividly remember the plot it was a good book... a good read. Cambridge however was a snore. Although the language was good and Emily goes about telling us of her experience on the plantation, it had no real punch... nothing to tie me to this book. No wonder it was so hard to find to read for exam. Dull... real dull. ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 3.0 stars ] "This book is great but what's up with the spelling? All the "th" words start with "m" so that looks like mat and then looks like men. Seriously amazon, what's up with that? ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "This is a powerful and disturbing historical novel about the days of slavery in the west indies, not long before slavery was finally abolished. The prose is beautifully crafted and takes you right into the period. The book is easy to read, but for most readers it will not be a particularly satisfying or enjoyable book (as you can see from other reviews) because no main character is particularly sy ..."

[ 3.0 stars ] "The narrative of Emily Cartwright is marvelous. I found myself easily believing I was reading an account written by a young woman in the 18th century, with matter of fact observations on race and men consistent with that time. The language is a delight to read, but as I was pleasantly carried along I began to wonder where the story was going. When a character using the occult entered the story, I ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 1.0 stars ] "I felt that this book was unrealistic. What I feel Phillips tried to do was put modern-day morals in an old-fashioned tale. It was deffinetly as if he tried to make a story about what went on during a time of uncertainty about the abolition of slavery and the emancipation of slaves. It was almost as if Phillips tried to add a "Scarlet Letter" appeal to the book, In the beginning the novel was well ..." Courtesy by Amazon
