On this episode of The Library Love Fest Podcast, Patrik Bass, Executive Editor at Amistad, interviews Dahlma Llanos-Figueroa, author of A Woman of Endurance. Combining the haunting power of Toni Morrison’s Beloved with the evocative atmosphere of Philippa Gregory’s A Respectable Trade, Dahlma Llanos-Figueroa’s groundbreaking novel illuminates a little discussed aspect of history—the Puerto Rican Atlantic Slave Trade—witnessed through the experiences of Pola, an African captive used as a breeder to bear more slaves.
