About this listen

Through every family run memories that bind it together - despite everything. The Tulls of Baltimore are no exception. Abandoned by her salesman husband, Pearl is left to bring up her three children alone - Cody, a flawed devil; Ezra, a flawed saint; and Jenny, errant and passionate. Now as Pearl lies dying, stiffly encased in her pride and solitude, the past is unlocked and with it, secrets.

A classic novel from one of America's greatest living novelists, now available as an audiobook.

At first this seemed miserable and depressing, so I left it for a while. When I started it again, I couldn't stop. People, families, life are painted with such care and perception. Different characters come into focus throughout the novel, which keeps the interest and develops and rounds out our understanding.
