Janet Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 Coram Boy by Jamila Gavin Coram Boy by Jamila Gavin A tale of two cities, Gloucester and London. A tale of two boys, Toby, saved from an African slave ship; 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 hatred and corruption. I read about this book in the paper before Christmas, because it has been made into a theatre production. I read the premise, and thought it sounded really good. I researched a little about the Coram hospital and then ordered the book. I didn Quote
