One of the best pieces of literature I've ever consumed in my life. At times I was close to tears and at others I was filled with hope and a sense of thankfullness for what I have. There's an audiobook version of it on Spotify that I will recommend to everyone.

This is a staple to the genre of literature and the understanding of the era of American slavery. It's somewhat dense and not my favorite read, but definitely something that I was glad to read.
