About the book

Colson Whitehead's The Underground Railroad follows Cora, an enslaved woman who escapes a Georgia plantation and travels north in search of freedom. Whitehead transforms the historical Underground Railroad into a literal network of trains running beneath America. The novel combines historical fiction and imaginative invention to explore slavery, racism, violence and the continuing struggle for freedom.
