Coram Boy

A tale of two cities Gloucester and London. A tale of two boys Toby, saved from an African slave ship, and Aaron, the illegitimate son of the heir to a great estate. A tale of fathers and sons Otis, dealing in the vilest trade of all, and his son Meshak, not quite of this world; Sir William Ashbrook, landowner, and Alexander, the son he disinherits...

An epic journey fraught with every danger and excitement, until love triumphs over hate and corruption, from bestselling author Jamila Gavin.

Wow

I saw this as a musical years ago and I still think about it- it’s the whole reason I wanted to revisit the story. I will say the narrative style gets confusing, as it’s told from an omnipotent voice and goes from the perspective of a child to an adult in a sentence. And part 1 is a tad slow going, but once there was 2 hours left I couldn’t stop listening. Makes me want to see the musical again.
