About this listen

A mysteriously chilling and provocative thriller for devotees of supernatural and suspense thrillers.

Cora was born with a veil. She is able to discern spirits and wield the power of both the dark and the light as well as the ability to heal. Her grandmother, Mi, called it The Knowing. Cora has carried it as both a prophetic blessing and a curse, struggling under the burden until one decision changes her world. Possessed with a healer’s compulsion to help, she is unable to turn away when Fannie arrives on her doorstep, ripped, torn, and hanging precariously on the knife’s edge of death. As torn at the birth of her child, Clyde, as she was at his conception, Fannie believes she has been chosen as the vessel for this coming savior.

In this tale of magical realism and spiritual folklore, Clyde and Cora are bound by a contract of which neither can be extricated except by the destruction of the other. Will Clyde honor his mission, or will he save himself from a war he’s not ready to fight?

Carolyn’s skilled, layered writing deeply connected me to the cast of this tragic tale … their complex inner landscapes, their humanity and world beyond human. Deeply disturbing story I could not help but ponder the historical legacy of suffering that may have shaped the players in this story. The classic redemptive triumph of light over darkness was not a given nor was it clear cut. Such weaving and intimate dance between the two.

Interesting to note that this novel, like Toni Morrison’s work does not reflect the “white gaze” and is centered in an African-American experience.

Brilliant and riveting,

Haunting Intensity and the Characters Live On

This is a must read. The Knowing captured me from the beginning, and I couldn’t let go until I was finished. It’s one of the best written novels I’ve read, and I can say that I’ve never read anything like it. I feel the imagery chilling my bones!!!

I thoroughly appreciate the full circle story the author created. For me, That is one of the most satisfying aspects of reading and finishing a book. You won’t feel empty or hollow because this is solidly written.

The narrator is absolutely PHENOMENAL. This is an A+ stellar performance!

The highs were high, and the lows were low, and every character had a distinct voice - as if this were narrated by a full cast - only better!

Bravo to the Artist!

Superb Narration!
