Sara Baartman and the Hottentot Venus: A Ghost Story and a Biography

Everything looked great. The book was in excellent condition and came quickly.

Good read

I was looking forward to reading and passing this book down to my children and grandchildren however when I received the book some of the pages were soiled and had a weird smell. Unfortunately, I’ll have to send it back and find somebody else to order from.

The book is not what I thought it would be.

Sorry, but this woman like any women of her generation was slaved into this practice. Was mistreated and taken advantage of. Yes, she had nice shape but a far cry for anyone to be calling her Hottentot Venus when clearly this woman was ridiculed yet forced into this without any comprehension of what was going on around her. Yet, given misinform interviews of what assumed when not being certain of the facts. Not to mention, it was a bit difficult to read.

I just wish I could have bought a digital version - I don't care for physical books because I like to have 5 - 7 with me at all times.

Excellent read and great historical record. Africans are the original human beings and Im glad she is part of the human story in writing!!

Great book would definitely recommend this to friends and family to read. I have enjoyed the parts that i have read
