Narrator Was HORRIBLE 😱🤯
Revisado: 01-01-23
I cannot emphasize enough how much I was annoyed by the way that this book was read. The story was not bad but the way that it was read was terrible! It took so long for me to finish this one! If she is the one who narrates the next in the series, I will not waste a credit!

Historia
The Vignes twin sisters will always be identical. But after growing up together in a small, Southern Black community and running away at age 16, it's not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults, it's everything: Their families, their communities, their racial identities. Many years later, one sister lives with her Black daughter in the same Southern town she once tried to escape. The other secretly passes for White, and her White husband knows nothing of her past.

I Loved The Story
Revisado: 08-09-22
I loved this book! I actually did not agree with how Stella chose to “vanish” but I understood why! She never actually came clean with her daughter and I guess her husband never knew the real her!!

I have listened to this book twice. Both times, I could not put it down. I was always eager to find out what happens next in Cora's journey. I wish that I could find other books like this one. No detail was left to the imagination and answered all questions that you wondered about each character.

Revisado: 03-13-17
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
I still never captured what exactly the author was trying to portray. I tried and tried to understand but the point never came to fruition.
What do you think your next listen will be?
Haven't decided yet.
Would you be willing to try another one of Noah Michael Levine’s performances?
No. I would not.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
I love hearing about my African American history at any time, so I did enjoy hearing CK Washington's journey in freeing a lot of my people.

Historia
When two Union soldiers stumble onto a plantation in northern Georgia on a warm May day in 1864, the last thing they expect is to see the Union flag flying high - or to be greeted by a group of freed slaves and their Jewish mistress. Little do they know that this place has an unusual history. Twelve years prior, Adelaide Mannheim - daughter of Mordecai, the only Jewish planter in the county - was given her own maid, a young slave named Rachel. The two became friends, and soon they discovered a secret.
