The physical timeline in this is so hard to get my head around. I know what happens and how passage of time is being handled; but it’s hard to imagine what they would feel like. Both for our time travelling gal and those she ‘visits’.

This is a very clever way to get a lot of non-historical readers to read about slavery. And a good way to bring non-science fiction readers into the ‘what if’ realm of science fiction. I dunno if this is ever taught in schools but it feels like a perfect literary education story (or book club book of course).

Yup… this poor book sat for over a month with a bookmark and no progress; as library books and authors I was meeting books took precedent. Now it’s finally Kindred’s turn.

I had to find a book published in the 1970s for a reading prompt I’ve been avoided for months!! So I went to my out of control TBR print shelf and found a couple that met the criteria. This one won the pick battle. So here we go with a classic that I hope lives up to its rep.
