A review by saycheeze37
Jubilee by Margaret Walker

5.0

I love Vyry. Through everything she faced she forgave and loved and continued on. Innis Brown's thoughts of Vyry from the end of the book express exactly what I want to say: "This women had a wisdom and a touching humility he could never cease to admire. It was more than her practical intelligence or her moral fortitude." Walker wrote a wonderful story of a journey to the past and while a rough road, there is a thread of hope that pulls you through. Walker's story is beautiful, as is the foreword by Nikki Giovanni.
