Absolutely loved this book. I read a translation of Roots, and even in another language, it was incredibly powerful and engaging. The characters felt so real, and the way the events unfolded kept me completely absorbed. Alex Haley did an amazing job bringing generations of history to life—both heartbreaking and inspiring. A must-read.
