I ultimately enjoyed this although it was a slow start for me…but can someone smarter please explain the ending?

AmyG Ha! I have read a few books where I just didn‘t get it. I am left thinking…what? 3y
MaGoose Been there, done that with certain endings. The Mage by John Fowler comes to mind, which I read about 35 years ago. The last few lines are in Latin!!! And this was well before Google Translate was a glimmer in anyone's eye. I just about threw the book out the window. 😁🤣 2y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @rubyslippersreads That‘s the problem I have with my girls now, they are all rescues that came at different times, and the newest always needed a lot of care because of that, so the older always got super jealous. 4y

Quoting from the blurb on the back because I couldn‘t word it better:

“One cannot finish Kindred without feeling changed. It is a shattering work of art with much to say about love, hate, slavery, and racial dilemmas, then and now.”

My first Butler but certainly not my last #authoramonth
