There were many things I liked a lot about this book and others I didn't enjoy as much.
The fact that a modern black woman travels back in time and experiences slavery and narrates her life among her pre ancestors in the first person enthralled me. I would have loved to read about Dana's husband experiences too, after all, he was trapped back in that time for 5 years alone.
However, at the same time her travel conceit grew a bit stale for me as the book went on, and I found my attention wandering a lot, trying to follow some other character. I just wanted something new and unexpected to happen which it did at the end.
I enjoyed the story and best of all, I loved Alice; she' is the reason I chose the 4 stars and not 3.
