When the abolitionist Granville Sharpe bought land in Sierra Leone to 'repatriate' freed slaves, one former slave living in London foresaw trouble. ' Is it possible', asked Ottobah Cugoano, biblically, 'that a fountain should send forth both sweet water & bitter?' Could the slave trade be abolished from West Africa when West Africa was its source? The answer was no..." Sweet Water & Bitter" is the extraordinary sequel to Britain's abolition of the slave trade in 1807. The last legal British slave-ship left Africa that year, but other countries & illegal slavers continued to trade. When the Napoleonic Wars ended in 1815, British diplomats negotiated anti-slave-trade treaties & a ' Preventive Squadron' was formed to cruise the West African coast. In six decades, this small fleet liberated 150, 000 Africans & lost 17, 000 of its own men in doing so. This is the tale of their exciting & arduous campaign. It is also a story of unforeseen consequences. What to do with the freed slaves? How to manipulate international law so that you could board the ships of other nations? How to fight the intense hostility of African leaders to abolition? In tracing these complex questions, Sian Rees shows how the campaign was linked to British imperial & commercial ambition as well as to philanthropy: the colonising of West Africa was a direct, though unintended result. Above all, however, this is a swashbuckling naval adventure, full of sensational, first-hand accounts of life at sea, of the grim 'barracoons' where slaves are held, of the luxurious compounds of the slave-brokers & the lonely garrisons dotting the coast. Sailors speak of the boredom of patrol, the terror of 'detached service' in small boats upriver, the sudden, violent battles & the horror of seeing, close up, the cruelties of slaving. Combining flawless research with an intimate & dramatic narrative, this is a voyage that no one will forget. ...

It is the summer of 1976, the hottest summer on record. In the heart of London's bustling East End lies a tight-knit community of families. But in the sweltering heat, a young girl called Chantal is snatched on her way home from school. The carefree and traditional way of life is shattered when her lifeless body is found. Then young Adam Ballantyne goes missing from his garden. As his mother frantically searches for the four-year-old boy, panic creeps in and so the nightmare begins. A series of horrific assaults on young children spreads through the neighbourhood, each one more brutal; there is only so much this close community can take. As they cling to one another for hope and survival, it is the women who take control in a battle to protect their families and win back the
innocence of their children.
