Barry Unsworth’s epic tale of greed and suffering centers around two men in the eighteenth century- Matthew Paris, a doctor aboard The Liverpool Merchant- a slave ship bound for America and his cousin, Erasmus Kemp, landlocked in a Victorian romance that eventually leads to the latter’s emotional downfall. Through The Merchant, the author explores [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=saintelmosfire.wordpress.com&blog=703501&post=55&subd=saintelmosfire&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
