The Praying Nun

This audiobook weaves together a compelling narrative of discovery and historical intrigue surrounding an uncharted shipwreck off South Africa’s coast, ultimately identified as the slave ship São José de Africa. Spanning two centuries, it explores both the archaeological uncovering of the ship’s story in 1985 and a fictionalized, gripping account of the brutal realities faced by enslaved individuals aboard the vessel in 1794. Through this dual narrative, the book offers insight into the past while highlighting the resilience and human stories intertwined with maritime history.
