'GRIPPING' THE TIMES

• Will draw original research into a historical and commercial narrative - The people in this book were not only the last survivors of the ship but the last documented survivors of any slave ship - this is a detailed and wide-ranging account of the transatlantic slave trade from the perspectives of its survivors. - Two of the five subjects are identified here as Clotilda survivors for the first time (identified by Hannah through her research) - Particularly devoted to telling the stories of women survivors of the Clotilda, not least because most of the slave ship''s last survivors were women, but also because female Middle Passage voices generally have been thought to be lost.
