The war of 1812 is over, but for the inmates at Dartmoor Prison, peaceā€”like homeā€”is still a long way away.On New Yearā€™s Eve 1814, the American sailors of the Eagle finally arrive at Dartmoor prison, bedraggled, exhausted, but burning with hope. Theyā€™ve only had one thing to sustain them during the har- rowing voyageā€”a snatched whisper overheard along the way. The war is finally over.Joe Hill thought heā€™d left the war outside these walls but itā€™s quickly clear that thereā€™s a different type of fight to be had within. The seven prison blocks surrounding him have been segregated; six white and one black.Inspired by true events, this novel recounts the remarkable story of the first ever all-black Shakespeare production, staged by segregated American prisoners of war. It is a story of hope and freedom, of loss and suffering. It is a story about how sometimes, in our darkest hour, it can be the most unlikely of things that see us through.
