THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD - COLSON WHITEHEAD KAR...

WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER Cora is a slave on a cotton
plantation in Georgia  an existence made even more hellish by her status as an outcast among
her fellow Africans. And she is approaching womanhood  where greater pain and danger awaits. So
when Caesar  a slave recently arrived from Virginia  tells her about the Underground Railroad 
Cora takes the momentous decision to accompany him on his escape to the North. In this
razor-sharp novel  the Underground Railroad has assumed a physical form: a dilapidated box-car
pulled by a steam locomotive  picking up fugitives wherever it can. Thus begins Cora's perilous
journey  as she is pursued by a ruthless slave-catcher named Ridgeway  obsessed both with Cora
and her mother  who eluded him years before. [Thumbnail for The Nickel Boys]
