My first 5 star read of the year! This was absolutely unputdownable. It was unflinching and riveting. I almost have no words. The premise is so well executed, there are complex questions it explores and doesn't always fully answer, and it's a terrifyingly immersive view into slavery through a modern lens. Incredible. This was my first Butler, but it definitely won't be my last!
