A review by kai_raine
Our Nig by Harriet E. Wilson

5.0

Before I read this, I'd heard a lot about how the writing wasn't engaging, but the subject matter made up for it. This is one of the reasons why it took me so long to get to it.

I found the writing highly engaging--sure, maybe the turns of phrase and expressions are old-fashioned, but, well...I wouldn't expect otherwise, reading a book written 160 years ago.

I found this to be a highly valuable book, worth reading for anyone interested in US history.
