Colson Whitehead - A Estrada Subterrânea

Cora is a slave on a cotton plantation in the southern state of Georgia. Life is hell for all the slaves, but particularly difficult for Cora. ​​Abandoned by her mother, she grows up amidst the most difficult solitude, that of those marginalized by their peers. When Caesar, a young slave who has just arrived from the neighboring state of Virginia, tells her about the Underground Railroad, the two decide to take a fatal risk and flee the plantation, heading North towards Freedom. On that ominous dawn, a bloody escape begins, an odyssey of hope and disappointment.
