Chain Of Events

I was privileged to listen to a re-broadcast story on...

which had on guest Simon Schama....

courtesy of...

who was presenting...


Which introduced me to "Joseph Mallord William Turner"...

Who painted "The Slave Ship"

A painting that evoked a lot of emotion and curiosity about a shameful and brutal time in the history of our nation. Because of this painting I was brought back to Simon Schama and his book "Rough Crossings"...


and finally, after over a year, stumbling on the best book I have read in a LONG time...
