In the slaveholding Georgia of the nineteenth century, Cora flees north with César on an underground railroad that here is a real network of tunnels and clandestine stations. Each stop offers her a different world, between disappointments and glimmers of humanity, in a fable about freedom and the strength to change one's own destiny.

For readers of historical fiction and contemporary narrative, and ideal for book clubs on slavery in the United States.
