Before reading the Parable of the Sower I have been lucky enough to have experience with Octavia Butler's other work, in particular the book Kindred. This novel discusses a woman who is pulled back into time in the Antebellum South at varying rates, and thus as a black woman becomes acutely aware of the horrors of slavery. It will be interesting for me to see the similarities between this book and that one.
Yes! I LOVE Kindred!
