Having read many books, both history and historical fiction, about this period of time I found the novel a good read.  The writing style of the author is well-suited to the pre-civil war period and she has obviously thoroughly researched the advent of the abolition movement in the United States.I felt that the characters were developed well, and had a great deal of empathy for them.  I like to believe that good people can look evil in the face and help those who cannot help themselves, even at the risk of their own life.I do think the book needed a bit more polish - a good proofreader would be very beneficial.
