Wow, just wow. This was an outstanding read!
I’ve never read a story that had a protagonist and antagonist relationship like this. This story is about a 26-year-old African American woman from 1976. Although she doesn’t know why, she suddenly finds herself transported to 1815 and into antebellum Maryland. After saving a white boy from drowning, and almost getting killed herself, she’s transported back to 1976. This continues to happen until she finally realizes that she and the boy have a connection. She has to protect this young slaveholder until he can father her great-grandmother.
Whoa, talk about a plot. There were so many times that I wanted her to unalive his ass, or anybody’s ass, but we both understood the assignment. She had to finish the mission. Loved this book. My first Octavia Butler book, and as I recently found out, the first science-fiction book written by a Black woman.
I thought the ending could have been longer. One second I was in it, and the next, it was over. And to be completely honest, I wasn’t ready to leave just yet.
I immersed read this one. It was a great experience, and I will never forget these characters. I heard there was a Hulu show or movie. I may have to check it out.
