4.0 out of 5 stars
A memorable view of slavery,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dessa Rose (Paperback)
Williams has taken us into the mind and soul of a slave and recreated Dessa's experience with a searing feeling of authenticity. This is a notable piece of fiction; it should be part of history courses studying slavery.

Heartfelt look into slave life......,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dessa Rose: A Novel (Paperback)
I recently picked up an old copy of Dessa Rose and began to read. Although I found it slow in the very beginning, it became one of the few books I can truely say I couldn't put down. Anyone that is interested in slavery should read this book. It is an eye opener for sure.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A nice surprise,
By Mimi "Mimi" (Atlanta, Ga) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dessa Rose: A Novel (Paperback)
I purchased Dessa Rose as resource for my Thesis work. I was told that it was a fictional account of a meeting between a real slave woman and white abolitionist. It was one of many resources, but it was the most surprising. I did not know what to expect. In the end, I was pleased. I recommended that the book be added to the syllabi for our Black Women Writer's Course next Fall.
