The paperback edition of Kindred by Octavia E. Butler (ISBN 9780807083697) has a few issues that need to be corrected.

First, according to the publisher's website, the publication date should be February 1, 2004.

Second, the description is incorrect and should read as follows (taken from the publisher website):

The visionary author’s masterpiece pulls us—along with her Black female hero—through time to face the horrors of slavery and explore the impacts of racism, sexism, and white supremacy then and now.

Dana, a modern Black woman, is celebrating her 26th birthday with her new husband when she is snatched abruptly from her home in California and transported to the antebellum South. Rufus, the white son of a plantation owner, is drowning, and Dana has been summoned to save him. Dana is drawn back repeatedly through time to the slave quarters, and each time the stay grows longer, more arduous, and more dangerous until it is uncertain whether or not Dana’s life will end, long before it has a chance to begin.

Bumping.

Edited. Do note that some changes take 10-15 minutes to reflect on the page until the Goodreads cache is updated. Nonetheless, the changes have already been made and will soon be reflected correctly.

Please help us librarians by adding [DONE] to your thread's title as your request has been completed. To edit your title: go to Goodreads (browser on your tablet or desktop, not the app), go to the title of your thread, next to your title is a little (Edit).
