Perhaps you're thinking of Nzingha? Or Cleopatra. Thank you for clearing that up for me, that sounds right based on what I read the book, the Caribs seemed very different from the Tainos.<br /><br />Thank you and continue having your culture/geogrpahy moments, I love learning about different countries :)<br /><br />@Anon-I wish I had to read these books for school! I'm glad you liked it.MissAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11042352415616854651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255886452367019317.post-81148676415346071542010-04-14T14:01:19.238-05:002010-04-14T14:01:19.238-05:00It was a good book =)....I just got done reading i...It was a good book =)....I just got done reading it for schoolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255886452367019317.post-66138580356733705742010-04-04T09:46:49.976-05:002010-04-04T09:46:49.976-05:00Hey there!

So this comment is probably coming completely out of the blue, but I've been browsing through your backlog of posts today (having just found your site), and had to comment on this one.<br /><br />I remember reading a lot of this series of books, but unfortunately I never found this one! (There was one about the princess of an African nation that I recall really loving, though... I can't remember her name though, but it was a great book if you wanna look for more books similar to this one.) But just to reply to your comment about not being sure what an Island Carib was, if not Anacaona and her people. I'm not 100% positive, but I believe there is an actual distinct people down in the Caribbean who were called the Caribs, as distinct from the Tainos and others.<br /><br />Anyway. Geography/culture geek moment there.

Thank you, I try to sound eloquent but I fear more often than not I sound like I'm rambling :)<br /><br />@Heather-That's my goal so I'm pleased to hear that the review is well balanced.<br /><br />@Debbie-Thank YOU for keeping Haiti in our minds and for all the work that you are doing on Haiti's behalf. I enjoyed learning about a part of Haiti's history that is not well known.

I really love the idea of Haiti as a setting, and I <3 historical novels. Sorry to hear that the premonitions were annoying though!<br /><br />I think if I see this at the library I'll pick it up :)in which a girl readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12563423294648988362noreply@blogger.com
