Pulse pounding up to the last sentence and leaves you pleading for more!
If you can get through "The Dreamer's" hard to believe and confusing visions of modern day, black American culture ("...colored men dressed in garish costumes like children, playing odd sporting games and bragging like drunkards-every bit of pride, decency, and morality squeezed clean out of them"), a very good read. You do get a feel for the difficult relationship between slaves, free blacks, slave catchers and other whites in antebellum Maryland's eastern shore. Based loosely on the life of Harriett Tubman and the Underground Railroad. Unfortunately, the characters are not really very believeable which hurts the narrative. The narrative itself is sometimes confusing and hard to follow.
