このコンテンツについて

Aminata Diallo (“an amazing literary creation,” Literary Review of Canada) is the beguil­ing heroine of Lawrence Hill’s SOMEONE KNOWS MY NAME. In it, Hill exquisitely imagines the tale of an eighteenth-century woman’s life, spanning six decades and three continents. The fascinating story that Hill tells is a work of the soul and the imagination. Aminata is a character who will stir listeners, from her kid­napping from Africa through her journeys back and forth across the ocean.

Enslaved on a South Carolina plantation, Aminata works in the indigo fields and as a mid­wife. When she is bought by an entrepreneur from Charleston, she is torn from friends and family. The chaos of the Revolutionary War allows her to escape. In British-held Manhattan, she helps pen the Book of Negroes, a list of blacks rewarded for wartime service to the King with safe passage to Nova Scotia. During her travels in Canada, Sierra Leone, and England, Aminata strives for her free­dom and that of her people–even when it comes at a price.

In this captivating novel, Hill portrays one woman’s remarkable spirit and strength in the face of adversity, and he brings to life crucial and little-known chapters in world history.©2007 Lawrence Hill; (P)2007 Books on Tape

批評家のレビュー

Hill's depiction of [Aminata's] journey to freedom is a powerful tale of pride and perseverance.—Sara Nelson, Oprah.com

A masterpiece, daring and impressive in its geographic, historical and human reach.—Globe and Mail

Lawrence Hill's hugely impressive historical work is completely engrossing and deserves a wide, international readership.—Delia Jarrett-Macauley, Washington Post

With grace and compassion, Hill populates true and harrowing experience with an authentic hero—just as good historical fiction requires.—Jennifer Berman, Bookforum

Astonishing in scope, humanity and beauty, this is one of those very rare novels in which the deep joy of reading transcends its time and place. Like To Kill a Mockingbird, Someone Knows My Name lets readers experience a life, one footstep at a time, beside an unforgettable protagonist. —Eileen Charbonneau, Historical Novels Review, Editor's Choice

Stunning, wrenching and inspiring.... Hill handles the pacing and tension masterfully... [his] book is a harrowing, breathing tour de force.—Publishers Weekly, starred review
