Welcome to Litsy!

One of my 2021 goals is to read a Black classic every month, because it's a huge gaping hole in my education. Can I blame my high school at this point? :)

I enjoyed this, but found it slow in the middle. The more feisty Miss Jane, the better, and the parts where she plays a supporting role just weren't as dynamic. Still, an overall pick.

The only thing that's saving this from a pan is that the history itself is so remarkable and important to tell that I need to give the author credit for bringing it to light. Otherwise, the writing is bland, boring, repetitive, and hokey. I wish she'd tackled this story with a bit more writing experience.
