About this listen

Blackboard best seller Sugar is the superb first novel by Bernice L. McFadden.

An emotional journey from grief and suffering to understanding and forgiveness, Sugar will keep you listening until its graceful conclusion.

Sugar arrives in the small town of Bigelow, Arkansas, like an ominous storm. She saunters down the street in a blonde wig and spiked heels, cigarette dangling between red-painted lips. Without even speaking to her, the women in town hate her. But when she moves in next door to Pearl, a woman who tragically lost her daughter 15 years earlier, the two women bond over tragic pasts.

In this remarkably vivid novel read by gifted narrator Myra Lucretia Taylor, you can almost smell the blooming magnolias in this 1950s-era town.

CAUTION

Explicit language and sex. If you’re not offended by this and enjoy historical fiction you will most likely enjoy this story. Good narration.

The Twists

I enjoyed this book immensely. It kept me entertained to the fullest and it was worth it. The different characters were really good and very well written. I fell in love with everyone due to how the narrator took you into their minds. I enjoyed the story.

Wow!

Wow! What a story, what an ending. Although I didn't like the ending, I do realize this story really could not have ended another way. Truely.

Amazing Story

This book was so much. Rough, soft, funny, sad, heart felt, heartbreaking. The narrator, Ms. Taylor, was the best I have ever heard. When I had to turn it off, I couldn't wait to listen again. It is a story I won't soon forget. 10 stars to the author and narrator.
