Review of Home, Miss Moses: A Novel in the Time of Harriet Tubman (Paperback)

I found this book inspiring and enriching. It's a novel, but I learned a lot from it.It's a suspense story in some ways and a history lesson too.An intriguing, complex book, it follows a vast sweep of American history that this one woman's life covered in reality.Harriet Tubman was no ordinary woman.And you get an up-close and personal glimpse of her spirit and stunning courage and fortitude in these pages.The horrific injustice of slavery as she lived it and saw it leaps off the page.You get a window onto both the remarkable cunning and the deep heart of this visionary American patriot who sacrificed everything to end this shameful episode of our history.Although it's a bit of a struggle to get used to the "patois" of her voice (a slave dialect) and there are also a lot of people and places to keep track of as you read, keeping you on your toes, it's well worth it.Check it out.
