A fluent and lively account * Guardian * A compelling and moving tale * The Times * A packed history of bounty-hunting and piracy, of high principle and low skulduggery, of roiling surf and disease-infested swamps and of the seemingly endless African coast -- Kate Colquhoun * Daily Telegraph * Sian Rees combines thorough research and strong storytelling in Sweet Water and Bitter * Pride Magazine * Rees's story is certainly gripping - slavers used all sorts of ruses to evade capture, from running up a different flag (only certain countries had legal agreements with Britain) to simply throwing slaves overboard (early on, slave ships could be impounded only if the 'cargo' were actually on board) -- Andrew Holgate * Sunday Times *
