Amazing writing, and a difficult, dark, thought-provoking story to read. This story is about a black woman with modern values and norms time travelling to a time of slavery in the South of America. Even though this has the sci-fi/fantasy element of time tracelling, I wouldn't consider this much as a sci-fi book. This book leans more towards historical/literary fiction. A book exploring history, humanity, society, intereacial realationships, power dynamics, racsim, sexism and trauma.

One qualm I have with Octavia’s books is her affinity for younger women dating older men. I mean, Kevin and Dana didn’t have a huge age gap, but it’s something I’ve noticed.evesaldalome's review against another edition
