Meet Charles Ignatius Sancho: his extraordinary story, hidden for three hundred years, is about to be told. discover Georgian London as you've never seen it before.
I had little right to live, born on a slave ship where my parents both died. But I survived, and indeed, you might say I did more...
It's 1746 and Georgian London is not a safe place for a young Black man, especially one who has escaped slavery. After the twinkling lights in the Fleet Street coffee shops are blown out and the great houses have closed their doors for the night, Sancho is utterly alone. The man he hoped would help is dying. Sancho is desperate.
And yet this same Sancho will go on to tread the boards of London's theatres, become a highly acclaimed musician and composer, lead the fight to end slavery, meet the King and become the very first Black person to vote in Britain...
It's time for him to tell his story, one that begins on a tempestuous Atlantic Ocean, and ends at the very centre of London life. And through it all, he must ask: born amongst death, how much can you achieve in one short life?
From one of Britain's best-loved actors, Paterson Joseph, comes an utterly captivating historical novel, telling the true story of a Great Black Briton. Fans of Bridgerton, Hamilton, The Miniaturist and The Confessions of Frannie Langton will adore being led into the heart of Black Georgian London.

A fascinating story,
This is a very compelling story, beautifully narrated and acted by the author. When I heard in the interview at the end of the narration that this had ben a one man play before a novel, I understood why the realisation of the characters was so varied and assured. It is also a fascinating look at the times, the court and events of the 18th century. This kept me happy company on several long journeys.
