Our hero, Langston Cane V, is very lovable. I liked his willingness to go with the flow once he makes the big decision to quit his job and "find his roots". Hill weaves the history of the previous four Langstons in with the current Langston journey, and I think he is very successful in taking us along for this ride of discovery. Local references to Oakville, Ontario and Canada make the narative that much more enjoyable. Quite different style and tone from "Book of Negroes" so cannot really compare them, even though the subject matter - negro history - is the same.
