The visionary author’s masterpiece pulls us—along with her Black female hero—through time to face the horrors of slavery and explore the impacts of racism, sexism, and white supremacy then and now.

Dana, a modern black woman, is celebrating her twenty-sixth birthday with her new husband when she is snatched abruptly from her home in California and transported to the antebellum South. Rufus, the white son of a plantation owner, is drowning, and Dana has been summoned to save him. Dana is drawn back repeatedly through time to the slave quarters, and each time the stay grows longer, more arduous, and more dangerous until it is uncertain whether or not Dana's life will end, long before it has a chance to begin.

One of the best book I had to read for my literature fantasy class ! I had loved it and I hope that someone will have the idea to make a movie about this book... it could be really amazing ! My boyfriend who can't read English literature followed the story through my reading as a TV show and loved it too.
I heartly recommend it !

D'autres que moi ont déjà écrit longuement sur ce roman, qui mêle science-fiction, histoire, psychologie. Il est difficile pour un profane de juger de la reconstitution du sud esclavagiste des États-Unis au début du dix-neuvième siècle mais elle est convaincante et on se laisse prendre par cette histoire insolite.

Highly recommended

Format: Broché

I was recommended this book by several friends and was not disappointed. The story line is very original, a slight twist of sci-fi but just to serve the plot. The descriptions of antebellum South and the life on the plantation are heartbreaking but, alas so true. They not only serve the story but are also educational material to learn more about American history. The parallels between modern and antebellum america bring about a lot of questioning on the parts of the readers. I would particularly recommend this book as a teaching material on the history of African-American history. Octavia's writing style is simple and highly effective.

It pulled me in and wouldn't let go!

I am a 72 yo white male who was born and raised in the deep South. I left that environment as a teenager, which probably made the difference in my attitude toward the significance of race. Butler made me feel like I was that 26-year-old black woman. Her skillful writing transported me to a place and time that I am certain truly existed in the manner she constructed. I found myself doing some soul-searching after reading the novel kindred. I wish I had been exposed to her while she was still alive, But I will probably wind up reading all of her books now.

An atypical sci-fi novel dealing with time travel, slavery, and familial connection. A Gem.

25 janvier 2018 - Publié sur Amazon.com

Achat vérifié

I love sci-fi, so when I first heard about Octavia Butler, I jumped on Amazon and bought the first book I saw.

In Kindred, Dana, a modern young African American writer who recently married an older white man, gets mysteriously transported back in time to a pre-Civil War plantation owned by the family of her oldest known relative, Rufus. Dana is called back to save Rufus’s life over and over again, presumably preserving her own life in the process. What happens to her in the past stays with her in a very real way.

This novel is incredible. I couldn’t put it down. It was written in 1979, but it could have been written last year. Elements of Butler’s own life and frustrations with race issues during her life shine through in parts.

This novel deals with love, familial connection, loss, time travel, slavery, and the complex emotions that arise when these things interconnect. To quote Dana:
"Strangely, they seemed to like him, hold him in contempt, and fear him all at the same time. This confused me because I felt just about the same mixture of emotions for him myself. I had thought my feelings were complicated because he and I had such a strange relationship. But then, slavery of any kind fostered strange relationships. Only the overseer drew simple, unconflicting emotions of hatred and fear when he appeared briefly. But then, it was part of the overseer’s job to be hated and feared while the master kept his hands clean."

This is a great book. It makes the deep personal toll slavery takes on its victims very real. I’m seeking out more of Octavia Butler’s books in the near future.

This book kept me enthralled from the beginning to the end. The thought of Dana being transported from time to time from her present day home in the 1970's back to a slave plantation that was owned by one of her ancestors. It provides a glimpse into the lives of slavery from Dana's perspective and her comping to grips with the fact that she could be stuck in that time indefinitely. Each time Dana is transported back in time her stay becomes longer and she becomes entangled in the plantation and with the people and does her best to survive and make compromises to ensure her future existence.

I do not want to give up too much of the story. The author did an excellent job of portraying the characters and developing the story. I would have liked to know why Dana had such a strong connection with Rufus, but this did not take much away from the story.

I listened to the audio version as well as read the book.

First, I am not a big fan of science fiction. For a reading challenge, I was tasked with reading a work of science fiction by an author of color or with a main character of color. Two birds, one book with Octavia Butler’s Kindred. Plus, it gives me a reason to read a prolific writer who I have been ignoring. Extra bonus, I would consider this Sci Fi light. There are no aliens, no robots, and no weird machines. Only time travel with no devices required.

The novel is set in 1976 in California. African American Dana is newly married to white guy Will. They are both writers, he more successful. They move into a new home. Dana feels dizzy and poof—there she is in antebellum Maryland saving a white boy named Rufus from drowning. Task accomplished and she returns home, finding that she was gone for only a few seconds in 1979 but for a longer spell in the 1800’s. Rufus is the young son of a plantation and slave owner and is also a distant relation to Dana. Whenever he is in danger (which is often) she is somehow summoned to save him. Her visits to the south last for longer periods of time and sometimes her husband Will accompanies her. Dana believes she must continue to save Rufus otherwise he will not be alive to father a child with a slave; that child being one of Dana’s ancestors. No Rufus, no Dana. Dana obviously does not fit in and passes herself off as a free black from the north, though Will is her “master” and lover. On the plantation she is often treated as a slave because there is nothing more threatening to slave owners than an educated black woman. She herself is often in danger and suffers atrocities along with the other slaves.

This was a quick read and an interesting story, but I did not love it. I’m not a fan of time travel in novels, but that was a very minor part of the story. It was fairly easily accepted by all involved, including those on the plantation. Most of the book takes place on the plantation and these are the most compelling sections. That said, I don’t think that those scenes were much different than any other book set in that period. Toni Morrison and Kathleen Grissom (The Kitchen House and Glory Over Everything) are much better writers. Also, some of the interesting dynamics were not explored in enough depth for me. Dana’s love/hate relationship with Rufus, her relationship with her white husband both in current and past times, and her fear that her husband would be altered by his exposure to conventions in the early 1800’s. In fairness, this book was written in 1979 and the author may have gone as far as one could go with those issues. This book is 3.5 stars for me. I am unlikely to read another of Ms. Butler’s books.
