Indulge in the audio version of this book for the full effect of the dialect and the times.
Mingled with the voices of the talented readers, I hear those of adults from my childhood, struggling with fear, courage, hate, love. I am an eleven-year-old, practicing the piano. The smell is furniture polish as Ruby has paused in her work to show me the right way to play (and sing) the hymn, "His Eye is on the Sparrow."
Too late to thank her now.

Awesome book! I saw the movie, but those was so much better!
I thoroughly enjoyed the audio version. To hear the accents and the pauses really helped to place me in that time and place, beautifully done. I read the book but did not have the same reaction as I did listening to it. I highly recommend the audio version to be immersed.
Saw and enjoyed the movie,usually don't follow up by reading the book.So glad this time I read it!was 17 hours of a great story! Made my driving long distance every day easier.am already lending it to a shut-in friend.
LOVED this book. The actresses are fantastic, & the book is compelling. Highly recommend hearing this.
The book was even better than the movie. Great reader and extremely good story.
Very good!
EXCELLENT BOOK!!!
