“It's not just a keel and a hull and sails; that's what a ship needs. Not what a ship is. What the Black Pearl really is, is freedom."
Jack also frees the shipload of slaves, which the Wicked Wench (turned Black Pearl) was transporting.
I finished this one earlier today on audio, and it seems like the perfect pick for the #soaringscores prompt. Cudjo Lewis was the last known survivor of the Atlantic slave trade when ZNH wrote this book in 1927. The audio, not to mention Zora herself in writing the book, did an excellent job maintaining the integrity of Cudjo‘s speech. Definitely a worthy read. #nowwearefree
#SoaringScores #NowWeAreFree Day 23 (or Day 1 for me): I'm jumping on this bandwagon late, but jumping on it nonetheless!
Woolf's heroine searches within and learns to free herself of the past, and of her grief. She realizes that life takes what she loves, but the memories are forever. In doing so, she finally becomes able to look to the future with certainty and move forward. I think this needs a re-read.

Plenty of gladiators in these and Boudicca trying to get the tribes free 😢
Love this series, love Boudicca and always cry at her story.
I have several books that explore slavery in the United States and a few that look at those individuals who fought against this evil institution. This one I had purchased because of the topic - the Underground Railroad was a network of safe houses and “conductors” who helped spirit runaway slaves to freedom. #NowWeAreFree #SoaringScores
#SoaringScores #NowWeAreFree Pinched this title from Google but I recall my hubby reading this book a few summers ago.
It actually sounds fascinating and Gladiator is such an epic film 🎞
A really interesting look at what it means to be a ‘non-traditional‘ Muslim woman in today‘s world.
