The Pursuit Of…

The Pursuit Of… (2018) Courtney Milan

Set in the United States in 1781 – 1784

At Yorktown John Hunter almost kills a British soldier–but instead ends up giving him his coat so he can escape. When told he’d repay the kindness, John things nothing of it. People say lots of things, and they almost never follow through to assist an ex-slave.

But Henry does show up. And then proceeds to talk.

And talk.

And talk.

And talk.

He glanced at Henry and finally spoke. “Do you ever get tired of talking?” he demanded.

Henry gave him a delightful smile. “You lasted so long! Twelve entire days— really, I’m so impressed! That was excellent. Utterly excellent!”

Not quite what I was wanting, but not NOT what I was wanting either.
