About this book
Cora, an enslaved teenager on a Georgia plantation, escapes northward through an audacious reimagining of the Underground Railroad: a hidden network of actual tracks, stations and trains beneath America. Each stop offers a different, sharply realised vision of a nation built on racial violence, resistance and uneasy promises of freedom. Her flight is pursued relentlessly, yet the novel’s episodic journey continually opens onto new people, places and moral choices. Colson Whitehead combines propulsive adventure with inventive alternative history and a searching confrontation with America’s social foundations.
