About this listen
In Victorian England, Emily and her daughter Amelia are prisoners in the attic of Emily's wealthy sister, struggling for survival. Amelia, a girl who has never felt the sun on her skin, possesses a remarkable gift—she can separate from her body and soar through the skies. As Emily reflects on her youthful dreams and the passionate affair she had with the brilliant black playwright Josiah Equiano, she grapples with the painful realities of family honour, racial hatred, and treachery.
When forced towards an unwanted marriage and facing her sister's deadly machinations, Emily’s resolve hardens. She will protect Amelia at all costs and seek vengeance against those who would kill for their twisted sense of honour, even if it means confronting the darkness that binds them all.
In a world where love and loyalty are tested, can a mother’s fierce determination break the chains of oppression?

Readers' reviews of Tami Egonu's novels:
"The love story captured my heart, but the message of hope that resonated throughout is what made this one of the best historical fiction books I've ever read. If you enjoy historical fiction and romance, please read this book~ I have no doubt it will move you like it has me"—Susan, Amazon USA (Bird #1)
"If you can suspend belief, which I did, the book is addictive. As soon as I'd finished it, I searched and purchased book 2 -- and then immediately book 3. Really recommended -- but you have to be able to suspend your reality."—E. R. Spritzer, Amazon Canada (Bird #1)
"Very enjoyable romance."—LoveDogs, Amazon USA (The Hourglass)
