1.0

Hmmm I'd always thought this book was written by an ex enslaved woman. I had no idea Harriet Beecher Stowe was a white female abolitionist, but as soon as I started reading it was glaringly obvious.

To be honest I got less than a quarter way through before stopping I couldn't get with how the black characters are dipicated or the lowly almost uncomprhensible dilact she has written for the black characters to speak.

I guess the intention was to show the reality of slavery as an institution, however even within the writing the conscious and unconcious racist ideology was too much for me to stomach for 300 odd pages

I may still watch the movie adaption which is on YouTube.
