Review: The Water Dancer

The Water Dancer by Ta-Nehisi Coates My rating: 5 of 5 stars 

I loved everything about this book – the beautiful use of language; the historical setting – the story of the slave whose father is master of the Virginia plantation and whose mother has been sold away; the fantasy / magical realism element around the power passed through generations to our hero; the journey from slavery to freedom; the whole book was excellent. I listened to the audiobook and Joe Morton did a fantastic job – his was the perfect voice to read this book.
