The Moor's Account by Laila Lalami

2.0

I'm surprised I didn't enjoy this more. The Moor's Account is the story of Estebanico's voyage from Florida across the southern US. The story alternates between his experiences on the expedition, and the circumstances that made him a slave. Unfortunately both stories are just too depressing. They are well written with lots of good historical detail, but just knowing that nothing good was going to come out of either story took away my motivation to finish the book.
