Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2018.
When two English brothers take the helm of a Barbados sugar plantation, Washington Black--an eleven-year-old field slave--finds himself selected as personal servant to one of these men. To his surprise, the eccentric Christopher 'Titch' Wilde is a naturalist, explorer, inventor and abolitionist, and he wants Washington to help him create the perfect aerial machine.
