Colson Whitehead's novel has won several prestigious awards, was named a number-one bestseller by the New York Times, and is admired by literary critics and prominent public figures.

This is the story of the struggle against slavery in 19th-century America, and historical truth is intertwined not only with fiction but also with fantastical assumptions. The Underground Railroad was the name given to the organization that helped Black people travel from the slave-owning South to the North, but in Whitehead's book, it is a real railroad, with stations, trains, and engineers. It is along this railroad that young Cora, having escaped from a cotton plantation in Georgia, travels across the country, overcoming harsh trials, and there finds her path to salvation.
