'And Mercedes Ruehl.' The words strike fear in my heart, especially when they appear in the opening credits of a CBS Hallmark Hall of Fame movie. As a rule, Ruehl doesn't merely dominate her screen time; she wrestles it into submission, word by word, glare by glare.

Chapter OneAt my age I'm about as far from childhood as it's possible to be. I'm nearer toppling off the peg than joining in adolescent games, but there was one case which gave me an alarming and, I hope, interesting insight into the world of the youth of today.It began when one of Hilda's innumerable relatives, her niece Cynthia, a student at Oxford, was taking part in a performance of The Messiah and sent an invitation to Hilda saying that she wished we would both come. Naturally I did my best to have an important legal fixture on the date specified, but work was as plentiful as Manhattan cocktails in the desert.

In 1789, a former slave named Olaudah Equiano, who had purchased his freedom and relocated to London, published The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vassa, the African, widely regarded as the first significant slave narrative, and the text that would define the form. Equiano's enormously popular tale made his fortune, and eventually helped British abolitionists bring an end to the slave trade, in 1807. Lawrence Hill's fourth novel, The Book of Negroes, which won the 2008 Commonwealth Writers' prize, opens in 1802 in London, as a former slave named Aminata Diallo begins, at the behest of William Wilberforce and his abolitionist colleagues, to narrate the story of her fictional life, from freedom to slavery and back again. Hers is also an 'interesting narrative', and its resemblance to Equiano's doesn't end there. Like him, Aminata is sold into slavery by fellow Africans, endures the Middle Passage, labours on a southern plantation for a violent master, a
