Straightforward and with no literary pretensions, her voice comes down the centuries, robust, clear, personal and often surprising: \"I do not complain at having been so far across the world, nor of my twelve years of slavery, nor of the suffering the Turks caused me, I can rise above that. But the spitefulnessand derision that my husband and I suffered from our fellow-countrymen cannot be forgotten, and is impossible for me to set it down here in writing.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hardinge Simpole Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49650590843107,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3758\/6147\/files\/9781843822172-1.jpg?v=1788414217","url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/products\/9781843822172","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
