Iola Leroy: Shadows Uplifted by Frances E.W. Harper

5.0

A classic of U.S. American Literature. A novel of its own time which is deeply generous with lessons and perspectives for our current histories. Beautifully written and specifically principled, I am sad to have not have known this novel existed, until now. The characters and experiences brought forth by Watkins Harper are unforgettable.
