In her efforts to resurrect Pringle, the writer summons the specter of Mary Prince, the West Indian slave whose history Pringle had once published, along with Hinza, his adopted black South African son. At their side is Sir Nicholas Green, a seasoned time traveler (and a character from Virginia Woolf's Orlando). Their adventures, as they travel across space and time to unlock the mysteries of Pringle's life, offer a poignant exploration of colonial history and racial oppression."--Provided by publisher. 500 $a "Originally published in South Africa by Umuzi, an imprint of Penguin Random House South Africa (Pty) Ltd. 2020" 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 600 10 $a Pringle, Thomas, $d 1789-1834 $v Fiction. 600 17 $a Pringle, Thomas, $d 1789-1834. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00007382 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 650 0 $a Women authors $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Poets $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Exploitation $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Race discrimination $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Time travel $v Fiction. 650 0 $a History. 650 7 $a Exploitation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00918547 650 7 $a Poets. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01067778 650 7 $a Race discrimination. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086465 650 7 $a Time travel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01151176 650 7 $a Women authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177198 651 0 $a South Africa $x History $y 19th century $v Fiction. 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Time-travel fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01922569 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Time-travel fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117032746.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=407C3F54072811ED93C2E7E557ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
