natmar 's review for:
The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman
by Ernest J. Gaines
My father has recommended this to me for years. It's his all time favorite book, and the first book he had to read for school that ever caught his attention. Today, I can officially add this book to my own list of top favorite books.
It is extremely well written in the guise of an autobiography penned orally. Jane Pittman, though fictional, reads like the amalgamation of every very real slave/civil rights narrative. Nothing about her feels fake or inauthentic. And her life story is riveting.
Big shoutout to my girl Jane for that power move on the last page. What a killer last paragraph, it literally left me in shock and awe and pride.
