About this listen
“Extravagantly beautiful. . . . Enormously, achingly alive.” —The New York Times
Sula and Nel are born in the Bottom—a small town at the top of a hill. Sula is wild, and daring; she does what she wants, while Nel is well-mannered, a mamma’s girl with a questioning heart. Growing up they forge a bond stronger than anything, stronger even than the dark secret they have to bear. Strong enough, it seems, to last a lifetime—until, decades later, as the girls become women, Sula’s anarchy leads to a betrayal that may be beyond forgiveness.

Sulas character will stick with me. she is a burning totem of power, so unmovable. hot and chilling. the only negative comment is The quiet narration by the author. still it made it all the more special to hear it in her own voice
Heartbreaking, Raw, but softly spoken
