I devoured this book. The story throughout time so was well crafted and written. I was intrigued to find out how Dana played her part in shaping her ancestors. It was interesting to see how someone adapts to a different time and to slavery. Butler also drew comparisons to the injustice that still exists today (in the 70s).
