The Sugar Merchant by James Hutson-WileyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A well-crafted historical fiction...
The Sugar Merchant by James Hutson-Wiley is a wonderfully written and richly descriptive novel with brilliantly drawn characters and settings. The threads of storytelling are expertly woven in this historical fiction that will guarantee the attention of the reader. Skillfully constructed and set against the backdrop of the 11th century world marked by the emergence of a disruptive commercial revolution, this book will have you turning the pages from beginning to end. In addition, the characters are drawn with great credibility and conviction. The story is told from the perspective of the main central character Thomas Woodward and is a noteworthy tribute to the era. Highly recommended.
