This unforgettable memoir was the basis for the Academy Award-winning film 12 Years a Slave. This is the true story of Solomon Northup, who was born and raised as a freeman in New York. He lived the American dream, with a house and a loving family - a wife and two kids. Then one day he was drugged, kidnapped, and sold into slavery in the deep south. These are the true accounts of his twelve hard years as a slave - many believe this memoir is even more graphic and disturbing than the film. His extraordinary journey proves the resiliency of hope and the human spirit despite the most grueling and formidable of circumstances

Some reviewers found parts of the book to be overly descriptive or slow-paced, while others praised its powerful message and honest portrayal of slavery. The book's detailed descriptions of the realities of slavery, including the brutal treatment of enslaved people and the dehumanizing aspects of the system, can be emotionally challenging for readers. |
