If I had minor complaints about the structure of this story, I had none whatsoever about the great performance from author Paterson Joseph, or about the incredible amount of historical research put into bringing the story to life. Sancho was one of the most vibrant narrators I've encountered, no less because of his shortcomings than his heroism. I also loved the author interview at the end of the recording, which added so much context and richness to the experience. I can't wait for more from this author!
