I wonder, in the future, what will other generations think of us? What have we normalized that will be barbaric for them?

Butler, Octavia. Kindred (p. 51). Beacon Press. Kindle Edition.
📖Genres: fantasy, historical fiction, science fiction, classics, time travel, fiction
📚Page Count: 264
🎧Audiobook Length: 10hrs 55mins
👩🏾🏫My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5
Kindred is largely regarded as Octavia E. Butler's magnum opus, or in other words, her most famous and important book. This book is harrowing and it always keeps me on the edge of my seat. This book is about a Black woman from the 1970's be thrusted back in time to the antebellum south, around 1815.
Kindred was an entire experience for me. As a Black woman, this book was terrifying, the thought of going back to the antebellum south, in an era where we as Black people had no rights to speak of. Dana went through so much in this book because Octavia E Butler does not shy away from putting her characters through the wringer to prove several points.
This book was just phenomenal! It's so hard to believe that this was written in 1979. It could have as easily been written in 1980 or 2015. I'm giving this book 5 out of 5 stars.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
