Unabridged CD Audiobook
read by Peter Francis James
Description:
In fourteen
sublime stories, the bestselling and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of
The Known World shows that his grasp of the human condition is firmer
than ever.
Returning to the city that inspired his first prizewinning book, Lost
in the City, Jones has filled this new collection with people who call
Washington, D.C., home. Yet it is not the city's power brokers that
most concern him but rather its ordinary citizens. All Aunt Hagar's
Children turns an unflinching eye to the men, women, and children
caught between the old ways of the South and the temptations that await
them in the city, people who in Jones's masterful hands, emerge as
fully human and morally complex, whether they are country folk used to
getting up with the chickens or people with centuries of education
behind them. With the legacy of slavery just a stone's throw behind
them and the future uncertain, Jones's cornucopia of characters will
haunt readers for years to come.
