Description
Our very popular book giveaway is back this year. We'll be hiding copies across our libraries and sharing clues about where to find them on our Instagram Stories. Follow us on Instagram @uwelibrary for your chance to win a book.
About Wake by Rebecca Hall
Wake is part memoir, part graphic novel and tells the story of women-led slave revolts. These women have been forgotten from the historical record despite their courageous feats. Hall endeavours to find out the truth about them and make sure they are remembered.
