Ancestors - Softcover
A gripping story of the author's search for his family tree. In the early '90s Paul Crooks undertook an amazing journey from London to the Caribbean and from there to the Gold Coast of Africa where his story began 300 years earlier. His journey to trace lost ancestors is the compelling theme of this novel-fiction based on terrible fact.

About the Author:
Paul Crooks devoted 11 years to tracing his African family tree after being told by experts that it would be impossible to find historical records. He persevered, locating documents that led from London to Jamaica to Cuba, and ultimately back to the Gold Coast of Africa--an effort that has brought him international recognition for his breakthroughs in African Caribbean genealogy research. He is the author of "Ancestors," a novel based on his family's history.
Review:
"My Book of the Year. A moving account of a black British family--from slavery and beyond." --"The Guardian"
