| Synopsis
|
"Two half sisters, Effia and Esi, unknown to each other, are born
into two different tribal villages in 18th century Ghana. Effia will
be married off to an English colonial, and will live in comfort in
the sprawling, palatial rooms of Cape Coast Castle, raising
half-caste children who will be sent abroad to be educated in England
before returning to the Gold Coast to serve as administrators of the
Empire. Her sister, Esi, will be imprisoned beneath Effia in the
Castle's women's dungeon, and then shipped off on a boat bound for
America, where she will be sold into slavery"Provided by publisher.
