Shortlisted for the RSL Christopher Bland Prize 2021 'Rarely has
family history been so vivid' JENNY UGLOW 'An extraordinarily
original work' AMANDA FOREMAN Like many well-to-do Georgian
families, the Atkinsons' wealth was acquired at a terrible cost,
through the labour and lives of enslaved Africans. Drawing on his
ancestors' private correspondence, Richard Atkinson pieces together
their unsettling story, from the weather-beaten house in Cumbria
where they once lived to the ruins of their sugar estates in
Jamaica. This extraordinarily original work of detective biography
is also a uniquely personal account of one of the most disturbing
chapters in Britain's colonial past.
