Things are getting interesting but I still don’t quite understand why the hacker is doing what he is doing.

I’m enjoying the idea for the book so far.

I do feel that in creating the character Shabana the author has been lazy, if not ignorant in using a stereotypical version of an Indian woman for this character. India, arranged marriage, violent husband, she speaks no English and has to use interpreters.

I don’t usually like books that jump back and forth between different times, but I’m managing to keep up so far.

Thought provoking. Some interesting info about cases of racial discrimination and how those incidents have been dealt with (or not) historically. Obviously the Stephen Lawrence murder was one I was well aware of but there were other stories that I had never read about.

Starting to feel like I’ve read this book before. I enjoyed the book back then and learnt a bit more about how slavery worked and in particular, that black people were also slave owners. I will continue with this book.

I can’t put this down!
