Hard to explain how good this book is. Octavia Butler writes lean forward moving stories that wrestle with important ideas. This book features time travel, and a contemporary black woman finding herself enchained by slavery and the strange kindred that peculiar institution creates.

I’m on the fence about this book. I love Octavia’s writings, and this book really made me think and reflect. Feel. But, Dana was naive. Not to blame her at all, I think she is similar to most African Americans. Sigh, I don’t really know how I feel to be honest lol
