Twelve Years a Slave by Solomon Northup

5.0

I loved this book because it captivated me and was difficult to put down. It is a poignant, first hand account of a slave's life in the 1830's. It often made me cringe, the horrifying mistreatment that one cannot even fathom unless witnessing it firsthand. Such a good book that is difficult to forget!
