Kindred
by

Octavia E. Butler

Justin Tate's review

Nov 14, 2018

it was amazing

A unique look at slave-era America thanks to a time-traveling twist. Should be shelved with the classics. Riveting from the first page and doesn’t let up.

I’m always a fan of throwing in a little sci-fi, but here it really, really works. Most novels on this subject tend to look at race relations from one time period. Nothing wrong with that, but there was something wholly shocking and eye-opening about having these characters hop from a modern (1970s) lens to pre-Civil War society.

This is my first Octavia E. Butler novel but I’m already a huge fan. Which of her books should I read next??
