Kindred - Episode 4

Group members: Adrie, MJ, Aylin, Amber. During this book group we discuss the ending of the book Kindred by Octavia Butler. We also give out six awards: Most hated character, worst dressed, most traumatic experience, most toxic relationship, most resilient, and character that deserved better. To wrap it up, we rate the book and give our overall reviews. Quotes used in this book group: “'She hated me. From the first time I forced her.' 'I don’t blame her.' 'Until just before she ran. She had stopped hating me. I wonder how long it will take you.' 'What?' 'To stop hating me.'” (p 259). “'You didn’t have to go!' 'You were turning into something I didn’t want to stay near.'” (p 251). “Luke… he would just go ahead and do what he wanted to no matter what Daddy said. Daddy always said he thought he was white. One day maybe two years after you left, Daddy got tired of him.” (p 138).
