Has any one read The Last Runaway by Tracey Chevalier? I am reading it at the moment and can highly recommend it if you want a plain and simple read. It is about black slaves in America and a Quaker family's involvement in helping them. It is fascinating how she writes in such a simple fashion that seems to tie in with the simplicity of the Quaker lifestyle, and yet it keeps you wanting to read on. I love it
