Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, by Harriet Jacobs
5.0
5/5
Read for a 19th-Century American Novel course.
This novel details the life of Harriet Jacobs, though referred to as Linda Brent throughout, and her experiences as an enslaved Black woman in the American South. It is unflinching, and I believe necessary reading.
