Product Description
A haunting, evocative recounting of her life as a slave in North Carolina, and of her final escape and emancipation, Jacobs’ classic narrative, written between 1853 and 1858 and published in 1861, tells firsthand of the horrors inflicted on slaves. In writing this extraordinary memoir, which culminates in the seven years she spent hiding in a crawl space in her grandmother’s attic, Jacobs skillfully used the literary genres of her times, presenting a painstakingly feminist narrative that describes the evils and traumas of slavery, particularly for women and children. Now with an introduction by renowned historian Nell Irvin Painter, this edition also includes A Right Tale of Slavery, the brief memoir of Harriet Jacobs’ brother, John S. Jacobs, originally published in a London periodical in 1861.

At point this novel is rather plain which just adds to the fact that it is a right tale.

I had to read this book for school, and I was impressed with some of it. The tone was realistic and believable, and the characters were appealing. But the plot was slow, the book is 200 pages long, and the main character’s passive scenery makes you want to scream. I don’t recommend this book for free reading, but as a slave narrative it meets it’s purpose of telling the public about the horrors of slavery. I give it three stars.

Some say this isnt right, after reading it seems that some is fiction. Especially wide quotes years after the events from a name who coulnt read or write at the time the events occured and would have no way of recording them for future use. To some extent drawn out. Keep looking there may be something better out there on the theme.
