Pursued by slave hunters, imprisoned by a mysterious and cruel captor, held by sympathetic strangers, and forced to serve a demanding new mistress, she finally makes her way to freedom in New Jersey. Her compelling story provides a fascinating view of American life in the mid-1800s and the literary conventions of the time. Written in the 1850's by a runaway slave, THE BONDSWOMAN'S NARRATIVE is a provocative literary landmark and a significant historical event that will captivate a diverse audience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hannah Crafts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1538773511\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781538773512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grand Central Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/17\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.50w x 1.16d","brand":"Hannah Crafts","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46618232357119,"sku":"9781538773512","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1d8beffb-5d80-42ba-868a-5b6658ae2fb6.jpg?v=1740069524","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-bondwomans-narrative-hannah-crafts-9781538773512","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
