Clotel: Or, the President's Daughter by William Wells Brown
Mr. Brown is an amazing writer!
I have read other nonfiction novels about slavery that were extremely heavy or dry (obviously because of the severity of this topic) but Mr. Brown writes of these events in a manner that allows the reader to stay captivated not only by the historical points but also by his writing style and language. He shows the horrors of slavery by revealing the governments', religious institutions', and "good people"'s mistaken points of view.
Amazing read. It dies cover heavy points but the writer writes in a way that doesn't make the reader feel overburdened.
