Song Yet Sung by James McBride – 4 Stars

[Hannah]

Set in the days before the Civil War, Liz, a runaway slave escapes from her captors into the swamp. She is armed with “the Code”, which helps slaves on the run. This was a very powerful novel and I learnt much about the Underground Railroad. The characters were well-developed, although I did find the story a bit difficult to follow at times due to the lack of quotation marks.

It's the first of his that I've read, but I will definitely be looking out for more!
