![]() ![]() My son says I must convey how the story also tells of July's mama, Kitty of the negroes that worked the plantation land of Caroline Mortimer, the white woman who owned the plantation and many more persons besidesfar too many for me to list here. She was there when the Baptist War raged in 1831, and she was also present when slavery was declared no more. July is a slave girl who lives upon a sugar plantation called Amity and it is her life that is the subject of this tale. As your storyteller, I am to convey that this tale is set in Jamaica during the last turbulent years of slavery and the early years of freedom that followed. My son Thomas, who is printing this book, tells me it is customary at this place in a novel to give the reader a little taste of the story that is held within its pages. You do not know me yet but I am the narrator of this work. First edition, first printing as evidenced by a complete number line from 1 to 10 some edge wear to boards and dust jacket otherwise a solid, clean copy with no marking or underlining. ![]()
