The Moor's Account book by Laila Lalami

The Moor's Account is a richly imagined historical novel by Laila Lalami that reimagines the story of the first Black explorer of North America. Inspired by the real-life Mustafa al-Zamori, also known as Estebanico, the novel gives voice to a man whose experiences were largely omitted from historical records as he journeys across the Americas with a Spanish expedition.

Blending meticulous historical research with compelling storytelling, Lalami explores themes of identity, survival, freedom, and the power of reclaiming forgotten histories. Through the eyes of its unforgettable narrator, The Moor's Account offers a fresh perspective on exploration, empire, and the human desire to define one's own story. Buy in Kenya with fast delivery.
