The Underground Railroad

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, the ALA Andrew Carnegie Medal and the Hurston/Wright Award. Named a best book of the year by New York Times Book Review, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Time, People, NPR and more. #1 New York Times bestseller. "Get it, then get another copy for someone you know because you are definitely going to want to talk about it once you read that heart-stopping last page." --Oprah Winfrey (Oprah's Book Club 2016 selection). "[A] potent, almost hallucinatory novel.... It possesses the chilling matter-of-fact power of the slave narratives collected by the Federal Writers' Project in the 1930s, with echoes of Toni Morrison's Beloved, Victor Hugo's Les Misérables, Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man, and brush strokes borrowed from Jorge Luis Borges, Franz Kafka and Jonathan.
