Octavia Butler's engrossing and complex time travel saga Kindred tells the tale of a young woman who gets pulled back and forth against her will between her life in 1976 Los Angeles and a Maryland plantation before the Civil War.
Part historical fiction, part memoir, part speculative fiction, Kindred is deeper and more impactful than your typical time travel story. The novel explores the dynamics and dilemmas of antebellum slavery from the sensibility of a late 20th-century Black woman, who is aware of its legacy in contemporary American society.
