Based on a true story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWilliam Buchanan lived an extraordinary life. Born a slave on a plantation in Jamaica, he escaped the gallows more than once. His part in the slave uprisings of the 1830s led to his transportation across the world as one of the convicts sent to New South Wales. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a story not only about a boy who fought against all odds in search of freedom, but also about a world not so long ago, when the violence of colonisation was in full force. It is a story of Jamaica, and Australia, but at its heart, it is a story about how one lives a life, whether slave or free man. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteeped in history but full of lessons that resonate for us today, William Buchanan's coming-of-age tale of survival and fate is a thrilling tale told in a singular voice, from a startling new talent in Australian writing.","brand":"Print on demand - Ships in 1 to 3 months","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48303223373982,"sku":"UBD-9780143787532","price":32.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780143787532.jpg?v=1789890187","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780143787532","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
