I felt this was more of a companion, not a retelling of Huckleberry Finn, but maybe that's just me. I don't think this takes anything away from Twain's classic, on the contrary. I think it elevates the original by introducing an adult perspective to the simple, naive, yet endearing lens of Huck's childhood.
I was left wishing that more classics such as Gone with the Wind, To Kill a Mockingbird, Uncle Tom's Cabin, etc., could get this same treatment of receiving a companion story from such a well-written, original, and nuanced perspective.
Phenomenal audio performance delivered with ferocity, vulnerability and sincerity by Dominic Hoffman.

There was a lot of focus on the setting, which is understandable but made the story slow for me.
Overall, a powerful book on the horrors of slavery and strength of the people who had to escape.
