Kindred

This week, for a book group, I read Kindred by Octavia Butler. This book is someone who gets randomly taken back in time to a river. She sees a child drowning and goes and saves their life. Half a second later, she gets transported back to her apartment in New Jersey, in 1976. She is constantly transported back and forth in time for the next week, sometimes with her husband, sometimes by herself, but she comes to realize that she is being taken back in time to the early 1800s, which is potentially disastrous for her, because she is black. This book so far is really good, one of the best ones that I have ever read for a book group. You really care about the characters, in 1800 and 1976, and it seems really realistic, even though it can be confusing at times. Overall, this book has some but not too much mature content, is really interesting, and really good.
