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. The Underground Railroad is at once the story of one woman's ferocious will to escape the horrors of bondage and a shatteringly powerful meditation on both history and the unfulfilled promises of the present day.
