Wow the ending of this novel was a little surprising but it ultimately makes sense in the grander sense of the entire novel. I won't spoil for it who people who haven't read it, but I am curious to see the thoughts and opinions everyone has about it.
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.
