I’ve never read the adventures of Huckleberry Finn, but I loved the story of James. A brilliant historical fiction novel that examines a classic, canonical story in a new light.
This is an adventurous and action-packed novel that doesn’t gloss over the horrors of slavery-era America.
The characters are full and complex, and their relationships are rich and heartwarming. A roller coaster of adventure and emotion.
