The Bondwoman's Narrative tells of a self-educated young house slave who knows her life is limited by the brutalities of her society, but never suspects that the freedom of her plantation's beautiful new mistress is also at risk...or that a devastating secret will force them both to flee from slave hunters with another powerful, determined enemy at their heels.

Critic reviews
"Thanks to the unrelenting probe of a Harvard University historian, again, we get the story from the woman's mouth itself. We learn the day-to-day experiences of a bondwoman through her fiction. We see in the intimacy of Craft's novel the gross, ugly vulgarity of the 'peculiar institution'." (Maya Angelou)
"Let it be emphasized that this novel is not simply a historical document but also a vivid, compelling narrative." (Booklist)

I should admit that I first listened to “Finding Hannah Crafts” which I consider a companion novel and well worth listening to. By listening to it first, it made me much more willing to get through the use of arcane language.
Overall, I found both books fascinating.
Insight into the thoughts, challenges and successes in the life of a woman who had been born a slave in the 1850s United States.
