Review of 'The Salt Roads' on 'Goodreads'

Tackling slavery in French Haiti, prostitution in 19th century Paris and slavery and prostitution in late Roman Empire Egypt, as well as other marginalized people, The Salt Roads doesn't do grand Deus Ex Machina, it nudges, just enough to give some hope and closure to these black and colored woman's lives.

I love Bahni Turpin's narration, I'm used to hearing her in zany YA and even middle grade content. It was interesting hearing her tackling dark and adult content.
