Blonde Roots by Bernardine Evaristo
One minute, Doris is playing hide-and-seek with her sisters in the fields behind their cottage. The next, someone puts a bag over her head and she ends up in the hold of a slave ship sailing to the New World. When she arrives on a tropical island, Doris discovers that she is a pig-ugly savage whose only purpose in life is to please her mistress.
