Jubilee is a story that details the triumph of the human spirit in all its many facets: love, hate, fear, forgiveness, acceptance, compassion, pride. All these exist in the character of Vyry, a slave on a Georgia plantation, the never recognized daughter of the plantation's master. Stories of slavery, the Civil War, and its aftermath are often presented as glowing tales of chivalry and glory for those bygone days, but in Vyry's story, the glory comes only from faith in God and his promises to send a new Moses to free them as he did the Israelites. Imagine the other side: picture life from a slave's point of view and glory becomes hardship, backbreaking work, separation of families, vicious beatings and no hope of freedom. Vyry's story is true, retold by her great granddaughter in all its poignant detail as history unfolds and her life changes. Her strength and compassion for all mankind plus her faith in God and His moral commandments places Vyry with all great heroines. This is a thought provoking and heartbreaking story but one that triumphs in the end and leaves the reader with a sense of regret for past injustice and inhumanity. In no uncertain terms, this book makes it clear that there could be no excuse for slavery despite its ancient history and justification.

Jubilee is a well-written book for those that enjoy reading a good story set in slavery and post-civil war times. Vyry is a mulatto slave girl. Her father is her master but she soon becomes a slave to him and his family. She is emotionally and physically abused by her master's wife, Big Missy but Vyry refuses to surrender. She suffers many losses on her journey to freedom from slavery and survives. This is the best book I've read since reading Zora Neale Hurston's "Their eyes were watching God." I would read Jubliee again. It deserves 10 stars. It is not a book just for black history buffs.
Format:Taschenbuch
This is easily one of the best books that I have ever read. Margaret Walker tells a compelling story of love, and life, in slavery. It took me exactly 3 days to read because I couldn't put it down. I suggest this book to anyone who is interested in the black slavery and the civil war.
