bobbo49 's review for:

Twelve Years a Slave by Solomon Northup
4.0
challenging emotional informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

 Northup's personal account, written before the Civil War, of his kidnapping as an adult and enslavement for 12 years in Louisiana before his rescue and return to his wife and (now grown) children in New York. Chilling, powerful, brilliantly articulated.
