Why read it?
1 author picked In the Upper Country as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
How could I not love a book where stories are found within stories? There’s a mystery here, too, one which I didn’t guess until the end of the book.
The old woman is a mystery herself. At first, she seems incomprehensible, her actions arbitrary. Then, I started to warm up to her, wishing her freedom against the odds. Here’s the forgotten history of a bond between Black and Indigenous people under colonial rule. The writing is powerful. The stories are powerful.
