Kindred, written by Octavia E. Butler, audiobook read by actress Kim Staunton, borrowed from HooplaDigital.com

Ms. Butler was a fabulous writer. She got and kept my attention from the opening sentence. And each chapter that I made it through could stand on its own. It’s the kind of book that I wanted to read slowly to be able to think about each chapter because there was so much to unpack. So very good.

But I stopped reading at chapter three because it was too traumatic for me. I don’t want any part of 1812 Antebellum Maryland. She make it too real for me. I felt the pain of others. That was her intention. I understand.

I’m still fascinated by it and bits and parts keep returning to me. I might return to the book to continue reading it, but not now.
