Afternoon Play: Our Nig

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Harriet E. Wilson's novel, the first by a black American writer, was lost for over 100 years.
Dramatised by Cheryl Martin, it tells the story of a young girl's life as an indentured servant in a liberal New England household. A tense drama examining the blurred region between enslavement and liberty.
