WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTION 2017WINNER OF THE ARTHUR C. CLARKE AWARD 2017LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2017NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER 2016AMAZON.COM #1 BOOK OF THE YEAR 2016#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AND A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 'Whitehead is on a roll: the reviews have been sublime' Guardian'Luminous, furious, wildly inventive' Observer'Hands down one of the best, if not the best, book I've read this year' Stylist 'Dazzling' New York Review of BooksPraised by Barack Obama and an Oprah Book Club Pick, The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead won the National Book Award 2016 and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction 2017.Cora is a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia. All the slaves lead a hellish existence, but Cora has it worse than most; she is an outcast even among her fellow Africans and she is approaching womanhood, where it is clear even greater pain awaits. When Caesar, a slave recently arrived from Virginia, tells her about the Underground Railroad, they take the perilous decision to escape to the North.In Whitehead's razor-sharp imagining of the antebellum South, the Underground Railroad has assumed a physical form: a dilapidated box car pulled along subterranean tracks by a steam locomotive, picking up fugitives wherever it can. Cora and Caesar's first stop is South Carolina, in a city that initially seems like a haven. But its placid surface masks an infernal scheme designed for its unknowing black inhabitants. And even worse: Ridgeway, the relentless slave catcher sent to find Cora, is close on their heels. Forced to flee again, Cora embarks on a harrowing flight, state by state, seeking true freedom.At each stop on her journey, Cora encounters a different world. As Whitehead brilliantly recreates the unique terrors for black people in the pre-Civil War era, his narrative seamlessly weaves the saga of America, from the brutal importation of Africans to the unfulfilled promises of the present day. The Underground Railroad is at once the story of one woman's ferocious will to escape the horrors of bondage and a shatteringly powerful meditation on history.

Side piece. Makhwapheni. Side chick. Home wrecker. I couldn't care less what you call me because I know I'm none of that. It's more complicated than that.Ambition, dreams and passion were my drive. Lab coat on, glasses on and a cushion of degrees to back up the smirk on my face, I just had one more degree to bag. A PhD in Chemical Engineering. Nothing is as impressive as a girl with luscious curves, a killer body and brains too. Well, until she's madly in love with a tall, dark and dangerously charming man, with a wallet as big as his ego. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect my perfect world to be turned upside down by the galaxies I saw as I stared into Elik's eyes. My body defied reason, as each nerve tweaked in desperation for what seemed to be a promise only he could fulfil. And when he gave me a taste of what he could give, I was hooked. I wanted more. But with the money, the cars, the houses and the steamy nights came the endless fights with his wife and dodging his family and constantly defending myself from the attacks of the righteous. I met his wife at a hotel once. She looked down at me like I was the reason for poverty in Africa and said to me "I was home mourning my father and you were in my house, sleeping in my bed, in my Egyptian cotton, with my husband! Tell me why?". Because I'm such a great person, I was honest with her "I love him", I told her. She laughed at me! "You love my husband? He's my man so leave him alone, little bitch!", she said. I was kind enough to correct her, "No that's where you're wrong, he's OUR man". The moment those words escaped my lips, all hell broke loose....
