Remember, Remember is a timely, moving, and compelling historical YA novel. For fans of Babel, The Confessions of Frannie Langton, and Noughts and Crosses, escaped slave Delphine and her brother Vincent get caught up in a landmark lawsuit for the rights of Black citizens in 18th C. London. The situation pushes Delphie to see rebellion and resistance in a new way as she plots to reshape British society and the empire. 

Somehow, this book is extremely modern in feel, including some excellent queer representation, without feeling out of step with its late 1700s setting. I cried, twice, at two very different point which is fairly unusual for me. There are also some elements of romance and of campness that won't appeal to everyone, but they balance some extremely difficult subject matter including racist violence and torture in among. I hope this will be come a new YA classic. My book of the year so far!
