That Burning Desire for Freedom
Stars: 4/5
After a series of events by his master and his wife’s master, protagonist George Harris, finds himself turning his dream of providing for a better life for himself and his family into a reality. Although George’s plan did not immediately include his enslaved wife and son fleeing the clutches of their master, their own harrowing tale of escape happens to coincide with his. Just as every great action-adventure movie has a chase scene, Burning Uncle Tom’s Cabin has its own 19th century version; complete with a band of slave catchers in pursuit, heroic feats and narrow escapes. Waters writing style makes for an enjoyable read; easily slipping back in time to follow George as he navigates his way to freedom.
