it was ok
bookshelves: 17th-century, africa, historical-fiction

I have mixed feelings about this book, and am thankful it wasn't very long. I was torn between giving 2 or 3 stars, as I personally don't think the book aged that well, and the author was pretty naive in writing this story.

Neither of these are necessarily the fault of the author because she was a 17th-century woman. Still, I can't really recommend this book to people wanting to read 17th-century lit as a "fun" read. 2.5/5 stars.
