The What When Book List

The Moor's Account by Laila Lalami, 2014

Read in August 2017

A fascinating well written novel about 16th Century conquistadors exploring what is now know as the Gulf Coast of America from the perspective of a Moroccan slave. The story is based on true historical accounts from surviving documents. The author has taken factual events and created a fictional tale.

Enjoyed this book very much.
