About This Book
In an alternate antebellum America where the Underground Railroad is a literal subterranean railroad, Cora, an enslaved woman on a Georgia plantation, escapes and moves from state to state, each of which has interpreted slavery and freedom differently—a terrifying, surrealist tour of American racism. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, the National Book Award, and the Indies Choice Book Award.
