About this audiobook
Bloomsbury presents Island Beneath the Sea by Isabel Allende, read by S. Epatha Merkerson
‘A magical storyteller’ Daily Mail
It is 18th century Saint Domingue, and Tété never knew her parents. All she knows is that her mother was a slave, and that her white father’s identity will forever remain a mystery.
As a child she is sold to the plantation-owner Toulouse Valmorain, and finds herself subjected to his unwanted attentions. Still, in spite of everything, she finds community and comfort among the other slaves. And as a revolution gains momentum and opportunities surface, she can’t help but wonder: will freedom, one day, be in reach?
Powerful and moving, Island Beneath the Sea is a story of courage and hope, even in the cruellest of circumstances.
