"The Underground Railroad" by Colson Whitehead [View all]
Extremely well-written account of an adolescent slave girl's flight from the antebellum South. Considerable brutality, serving as a reminder of what a genuinely evil practice slavery was, and how its stain on this country's history still resonates. Worth your time. Currently at no.16 on the NYT Hardcover Best-Seller list.
