This bestseller captures the family history of an African slave who is captured and brought to the US and follows his descendents all the way to Alex Haley. Haley captures every essence of slavery, from its affect on the individual, the family and overall society. This piece is usually critically acclaimed for its impeccable historical accuracy and Haley’s dramatic portrayal of the violence of slavery is amazing.

I loved the story of a family throughout the generations. You truly come to love each of the main characters from each generation as the book progresses.
