[With] a tough spirit that insists upon survival...Vyry becomes one of the memorable women of contemporary fiction.... The publishers tell us that Jubilee is "based on the true life story of the author's great-grandmother," and that for the first time such a story "is told from the Negro point of view...." What is of first importance is not the race of its author or the sources of its inspiration but its ring of artistic truth.... In it's best episodes, and in Vyry, Juliee choronicles the triumphs of a free spirit over many kinds of bondages.
