Dangerous Freedom'They tell you one thing but you are not free.' London in 1802 is a dangerous place for black people, unsure of their legal status and threatened by slave catchers. Elizabeth dAviniere, the mixed race great niece of the Lord Chief Justice, who had spent her childhood in his home, now fears for her own childrens safety and yearns for her mother, an African born enslaved woman. Why did she no longer write? Was she dead? Had she been recaptured?
