What a fantastic book! Read this for a Classics challenge ( tea and ink society). Before this challenge I had never heard of this book. It is grand and epic like Gone with the Wind but from the slave perspective. The only thing I struggled with was the onslaught of characters in the first third (which got easier as one read on) and sometime too much specific history that got in the way of the story at times. Would definitely recommend for someone interested in African American author/stories. Beautiful!
