We read this quite some time ago, several years.

Sacred Hunger is a story of the slave trade. But it is so much more than that. It is about the human condition in the 18th Century, commerce and greed.

This book has a Good Reads rating of over four stars. At first I struggled with the old style language but after a short while found it not to be a problem. Mrs. Enthusiast loved Sacred Hunger.
