Review: Jubilee

Jubilee by Margaret Walker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a memorable book about a significant period in history. The protagonist is Vyry (short for Elvira) who was an incredibly strong woman who lived through slavery, the Civil War, emancipation from slavery, the terror of the KKK and more with grace and courage. What's more amazing is that she was based on a real woman - Margaret Walker's own great-grandmother. I listened to the audiobook and the narration was great. I highly recommend this thought-provoking book!
