Underground Airlines   Ben H. Winters
Well-imagined, very readable novel about a present-day, alternative history United States where slavery was never abolished. Though the prose is good, this book was hard to read because of the subject, and there are scenes on a modern corporate plantation that are like a horror novel. Complex human dramas throughout, and unbearable tragedies. Glad I read it, and glad I’m done. Winters is a very interesting writer.
