arwenauthor 's review for:
Uncle Tom's Cabin
by Harriet Beecher Stowe
Classic for a reason
It may be overlong, and very Christian (for a modern atheist reader) but what a triumph! Moving, exciting, well-paced, thoughtful characterisation (with only a few full stereotypes, but where do stereotypes come from?).
I’m unashamed to have been under Beecher Stowe’s capable thumb, buffeted with emotions, and made to think more about the North/South divide, which we think of as something so simple in the U.K.
Definitely deserving its status as a classic.
