I don’t think I remember the original adventures of Huckleberry but I appreciated the storytelling from Jim’s perspective. This is a dark time in our history, the endurance and perseverance showcased here is admirable. There were moments of brightness in the book, interactions between Jim and Huck, and Norman, all on this journey to return and free his wife and daughter. Jim kept hiding the fact that he was educated, slipping here and there in the way he spoke - that really broke my heart.
