A retelling of the Gunpowder Plot. I was really pulled into this book, the writing was excellent. A powerful storyline, fiction based on fact. A fast paced read that I will recommend.
Thank you to Net Galley for an advanced copy

Remember Remember had my brain and heart aching. I was so happy to have received this ARC from Netgalley and HarperNorth as it was one of those requests I was absolutely crossing my fingers on

The book is a reimagining of the Gunpowder plot but instead centered on colonial slavery and a black couple, Vincent and Delphine. Vincent is lead to believe that he has secured his freedom in a deal with his "Master" the evil Lord Henry, but Henry reneges on the deal, which in turn forces Vincent to try and secure his freedomm through the legal system (almost echoes the story of Amistaad in this sense and will likely be just as great)

When a book hurts your heart and makes you think, it is definitively going to be a great piece of literature. I really enjoyed how people were working together to resolve the case, black and white and then so much more

You will not be able to second guess Elle Machray's narrative flow and the plot is utterly unpredictable. Yes, it is a reimagining, but it also flips what you assumed on its head

Read this book. Read it the minute you can get your hands on it. It is truly incredible


Thank you to NetGalley and HarperNorth for this truly exceptional story. My review is left of my own volition an dall opinions are my own
