A review by corriejn
The Secret Diaries of Charles Ignatius Sancho by Paterson Joseph

4.5

I continually was not sure quite what to make of this as like, historical fiction (it is based on an actual person), but I think a lot of that was not being familiar with the life of free (and free-ish) Black people in 18th century England, so my brain was constantly like "wait, is *this* part realistic?" But the story is very engaging (the audiobook at least also has an interview at the end with the author, which I found interesting in terms of his process researching and writing the play-- which is how it started-- and then expanding it into the novel).
