'A damning reminder that the ghosts of empire are not distant - they are living, breathing and, in some cases, still collecting rent' - The Observer
'Eloquently reminds us that history is never truly past' - The New Yorker
'A family story straight out of Game of Thrones' - Alex Renton, author
While the British landed gentry profited from chattel slavery in the West Indies, the Plunkett-Ernle-Erle-Drax family of Dorset pioneered it. This is the story of the British Empire and slavery told through one family's grotesque history, and how its legacy is alive and well today.
