This was as brilliant as I thought it would be. I cared so much about some of these characters. And I hated other characters with every fiber of my being. I honestly thought going into this I would be reading a southern Gothic type story with some sci-fi thrown in with time travel. What I actually read was a haunting historical fiction about slavery and relationships between slaves and their masters. Not the good relationships and the bad, but the bad and the fucking devastating. This one will definitely be sticking with me. Everyone should read it, everyone. A Kindle ebook I got for less than $1 about slavery, but using time travel as a plot device. Yeah, it's ridiculous. Not as bad as it could have been, but not as powerful as it wanted to be. Mögnuð frásögn eftir Butler þar sem ung svört kona dregst aftur til fortíðar til suðurríkja Bandaríkjanna á tímum þrælahaldsins. Fljótlega verður henni ljóst að hún neyðist til að flakka stöðugt og óvænt til fortíðarinnar til að vernda forfeður sína við skaða sem er ekki auðvelt ekki síst þar sem hún er á þessum tíma réttindalaus þræll. Þetta er sterk og áhrifamikil frásögn um ánauð þræla en líka hve sjónarhorn hvítra var sögulega og menningarlega skorðað. I absolutely loved this book!! Science fiction/ Time travel/ Historical fiction novel. Dana keeps getting draged to the past to ensure a family member’s life. no reviews | add a review

Eine interessante Herangehensweise an ein schwieriges Thema, das mich von dieser Autorin, von der ich schon länger etwas lesen wollte, sofort überzeugen konnte. Dem Buch werden sicher weitere folgen - zum Glück hat sie ein umfangreiches Werk hinterlassen. (
