[minor wear only to book, a nice tight copy; the jacket is somewhat rubbed and scuffed, with a few nick and tiny chips at the top of the spine, a bit of wear and very slight paper loss at several corners, and a couple of small surface-peel scars on the rear panel]. This acclaimed "fictional autobiography" begins in 1864, and depicts "the life story of a black lady born in slavery on a Louisiana plantation who is freed at the end of the Civil War and lives for one hundred more years to see the second emancipation. The story is told in her voice as she might have told it to a young historian who taped it." Adapted into the 1974 TV movie of the same name, starring Cicely Tyson. (NOTE that the dust jacket designer's name is misspelled as "McGiver" on the jacket itself.)
