The Water Dancer by
Ta-Nehisi Coates
My rating:
5 of 5 stars
I loved everything about this book - the beautiful use of language; the historical setting - the story of the slave whose father is master of the Virginia plantation and whose mother has been sold away; the fantasy / magical realism element around the power passed through generations to our hero; the journey from slavery to freedom; the whole book was excellent. I listened to the audiobook and Joe Morton did a fantastic job - his was the perfect voice to read this book.
