- Summary:
- In 1837, two young African princes arrive at the Dutch royal court of Willem I. Sent by the King of the Ashanti as surety in a deal they have brokered over illegal slave trading, the two boys think they are there for a European education. But as time passes, they forget their native language and become exiles. This acclaimed first novel is based on a true story.
