Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Ann Jacobs

adventurous dark emotional informative reflective sad tense fast-paced

5.0

an astounding story that chills in the modern day and really makes you wonder about its contemporary reception especially with how often the author addresses the reader as is typical of the style and times.  i was gripped by the narrative as much as its larger importance.  and the final chapter is stirring as the author grapples with freedom with nuance that feels almost modern.
