Finished Th 4/23/26 on Kindred through a library loan.
A woman from 1976 is transported back to the eastern shore of Maryland in 1819. The woman is black and experiences all of the social, racial, and economic issues that come with elevating one race over another.
From AI Overview:
"Kindred by Octavia E. Butler is a powerful, harrowing, and essential masterpiece of historical fiction and sci-fi that transports a modern Black woman to the antebellum South to save her white ancestor. It is highly regarded for its visceral, non-sugarcoated depiction of slavery's brutality, exploring themes of race, power, and survival."
I really loved the book and would read anything by Butler.
