Description
By the time she was seven years old, Aina had been born into life as an Egbado princess, witnessed the brutal killing of her entire family, and had been enslaved to a rival chieftain. With a death sentence hanging over her head, she would also face being bartered as an exotic trophy, renamed and presented to the distant Queen Victoria as a 'gift'.
From traumatic beginnings, Sarah Forbes Bonetta's will to survive led her to negotiate Her Majesty's court, cultivate friends in high places, and to flourish in a world far removed from her rural African upbringing.
From West Africa to Windsor Castle, The Other Princess is a vivid imagining of the life of Queen Victoria's Black goddaughter, shining a light on a woman searching for home, love, and identity.
