	The harshly real and the fantastic mingle in ways that recall Ta-Nehisi Coates's The Water Dancer and Esi Edugyan's Washington Black. What's most impressive is Thomas's imaginative power; sure-handed, often lyrical prose; and strong, complex, resilient women. An exceptional work that mines a rich historical vein
Other text	The fates of two unforgettable women – one just beginning a journey of reckoning and self-discovery and the other completing her life's last vital act – intertwine in this ambitious and inventive debut set at the terminus of the Underground Railroad.
