Jubilee by Margaret Walker - Great read

Here is the classic--and true--story of Vyry, the child of a white plantation owner and his black mistress, a Southern Civil War heroine to rival Scarlett OHara. Vyry bears witness to the Souths prewar opulence and its brutality, to its wartime ruin and the subsequent promise of Reconstruction. It is a story that Margaret Walker heard as a child from her grandmother, the real Vyrys daughter. The author spent thirty years researching the novel so that the world might know the intelligent, strong, and brave black woman called Vyry. The phenomenal acclaim this best-selling book has achieved from readers black and white, young and old, attests to her success.

Great read
This book is definately one of all-time favorite reads. I could not put it down, and when I did, I almost wanted to cry because it was over. It was as if I had grown with this woman, experienced everything with her, and the ending of the book put a direct end to our relationship. Not very many books move me in such a way.
I think it was well-written...had it not been I wouldn't have been so emotionally-tied to the characters.
I recommend this book to everyone-hopefully it will move you as much as it has moved myself.
