Yes this is melodramatic, overly sentimental and seeped in the prejudices of its kind, but its also deeply moving and compassionate. I cant speak to how influential this was in the historical record, but it still packs a powerful punch now.

My preconceived notions of this book were found to be unjustified. Although the nature of the story is hugely challenging the main concept is thoroughly discussed in the conversations between characters and helps to educate on the variety of mindsets from the time. There is no possible defence for the historical wrongdoing to the enslaved black in America, and this novel really highlights a series of lived experiences which is lost or forgotten in today’s world. It is undeniably a tough read, but one worth partaking, particularly by those not POC, if nothing else to educate and humble.
