The southern dialect was a bit hard to follow in the beginning, but.. I’m stumped for words. I want to say amazing book (but with the horrific subject matter), not sure it feels right. Certainly one of the most riveting books I’ve read in a while. The strength of faith amidst the hardships of the American slavery is probably the main theme, and is what keeps you pinned to this book. Just when there’s a glimmer of hope, something happens to turn it around. One of the most important books from that time period, or ever. Just wow.
