About this listen

In the days before the Civil War, there lived a Louisiana people unique in Southern history. Though descended from African slaves, they were also descended from the French and Spanish who enslaved them. Called the Free People of Color, this dazzling historical novel chronicles the lives of four of them - men and women caught perilously between the worlds of master and slave, privilege and oppression, passion and pain.

The only disappointment is it was only available in abridged. A story this rich and sensuous can only be UNabridged. It was a tease.

I need knew this was an abridges version because of all the excellent reviews. I am rereading the unabridged paperback novel after 14 years.
If you are not familiar with the story or have never read the novel as intended. This "sample" audio version does leave out the true essence of the lives and struggles of the free people of color. Those characters coming truly alive is lost. The spirit of this abridged novel has lost some of its heart. THEREFORE IT IS WORTH READING THE BOOK IN FULL AS IT WAS WRITTEN! However, knowing this and going ahead and giving this version a chance, I was not disappointed! The narrator is excellent and I was engrossed.


Requesting unabridged version with same narrator!

Not as good as Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles but still interesting to read her other stuff

Not great

I listened to this book because my book club selected it. I was intrigued with the characters in the story and the period of history it explores and the performance was very good. Typically, I purchase unabridged book versions but that was not available. Since it was only three hours long, I wonder what all we missed. I feel like I bought the cliff notes and I don't know how I would feel about reading the entire book. Would it be too slow and boring or would it give us more insight into the lives and struggles of our characters?

Is three hours enough?

The story was hard to follow but the voice acting was really amazing. Wish they had a full version.
