Octavia E. Butler
The first science-fiction written by a Black woman, Kindred has become a cornerstone of African-American literature. This combination of slave memoir, fantasy, and historical fiction is a novel of rich literary complexity.
Having just celebrated her 26th birthday in 1976 California, Dana, an African-American woman, is suddenly and inexplicably wrenched through time into antebellum Maryland. After saving a drowning White boy there, she finds herself staring into the barrel of a shotgun and is transported back to the present just in time to save her life.
During numerous such time-defying episodes with the same young man, she realizes the challenge she's been given: to protect this young slaveholder until he can father her own great-grandmother.
Author Octavia E. Butler skilfully juxtaposes the serious issues of slavery, human rights, and racial prejudice with an exciting science-fiction, romance, and historical adventure. Kim Staunton's narrative talent magically transforms the listener's earphones into an audio time machine.

I was so disappointed when the show was cancelled and left on a cliff hanger.
I heard it was based on a book so I ran to Audible to see if I could buy the book at which I did. I needed to know the rest of the story.
Overall I enjoyed this story. I could picture myself going back and forth thru time and felt the emotions that were going thru Dana. I kept thinking this book should have been made into a movie. I would have loved to see all the characters come to life.
My only down rate was the narration. I found it hard to decifer who was the character because the narrator didn't change her voice much inbetween characters. Its too bad they didn't have a few people narrating the main characters.
First season of Kindred on FX drew me to the book
