Audio Book Summary

Harriet Jacobs' autobiography, written under the pseudonym Linda Brent, details her experiences as a slave in North Carolina, her escape to freedom in the north, and her ensuing struggles to free her children. The narrative was partly serialized in the New York Tribune, but was discontinued because Jacobs' depictions of the sexual abuse of female slaves were considered too shocking. It was published in book form in 1861. (Summary by Elizabeth Klett).

    The story was fascinating and filled me with emotion for what the writer endured. The narration sounds like it was recorded in a fish tank and the reading of the credits at the start of Every. Single. Chapter was maddening.

    Excellent storytelling. Highest highs and lowest lows of the emotional roller coaster. An amazing author and a hero.

    Good book, but the audio version is annoying when they have to read full credits at the beginning of EACH chapter. I mean really, we get it.

    Narrators accent is a little strange but the reading was good. Hated the credits read at the break of every chapter. Loved the story and was riveted the whole time sad part of our history but what a great storyteller and a brave woman.
