Rent Testimony of an Irish Slave Girl

I was truly excited to learn about the topic of Irish indenture...and written in the genre of Historical Fiction I was hoping to get a gripping heartfelt story as well. This is the story of a girl stolen from Ireland and brought to Barbados to live as an indentured servant. She tells her story in the guise of testimony in the defense of her Muslim husband's Jihad uprising against his Anglo oppressors. Testimony of an Irish Slave Girl starts off very slow and reads somewhat like that of a college dissertation. It does gain some momentum towards the middle and then just ends abruptly. I was very disappointed...the topic is so juicy that this could have been such a rich story...unfortunately it just wet my appetite to search for better historical fiction on this topic. In conclusion...not a huge recommendation. Sorry Kate McCafferty.
