À propos de cet audio

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • John Grisham is at the top of his game in this novel of a raw, young basketball player with big dreams—and even bigger challenges off the court.

“Grisham is about as good a storyteller as we’ve got.”—The New York Times Book Review

Samuel “Sooley” Sooleymon is just seventeen years old when he and his South Sudanese teammates come to the United States to compete in a basketball tournament. The opportunity to be scouted by college coaches is a dream come true. Though he is an amazing athlete, his technical game needs work.

And then Sooley receives devastating news from home: as a result of the civil war raging across South Sudan, his father is dead, his sister is missing, and his mother and two younger brothers are in a refugee camp. Moved by his story, the coach of North Carolina Central offers him a scholarship. Sooley moves to Durham, enrolls in classes, and prepares to sit out his freshman season.

But Sooley has a fierce determination to improve. He works tirelessly on his game, and soon he’s dominating in practice. With the Central team losing and plagued by injuries, Sooley is called off the bench. But how far can he take his team? And will success allow him to save his family?

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Hard to put down . . . the pages turn quickly . . . building to a climax that won’t leave readers doubting whether this is a John Grisham novel.”—Associated Press

“An intensely moving story, told with the same eye for character and descriptive detail Grisham brings to his crime novels. His occasional forays into general fiction are usually interesting, but this one is considerably more than that. It’s skillfully written, with a deeply compelling central character and a story that is full of raw emotion and suspense.”—Booklist

this story was so good but the ending was so shocking and not at all what I expected.

great listen

Adored this story. But the narrator reminded me of the unsolved mysteries host. Every sentence sounded like a gotcha moment, a ghost around the corner, nothing against the narrators voice, but the delivery was just weird and awkward.

Great story

Loved every chapter! Staying in the game! Hopes for Sooley' s brother lessens the tragic ending.

Dream big & never give up!

I couldn’t put it down from the first word to the last. Sure … it is not “normal” Grisham, but I really enjoyed it none the less.

My family sponsors a Syrian family, and their stories of day to day life certainly make our issues, in North America, seem mostly insignificant in comparison.

Our community celebrates the difference it has made in their lives.

A story , like “ Sooley “ , gives hope and inspiration!

Thank you John Grisham 🙏

Very enjoyable read/listen 👍

I enjoyed the book although the detailed basketball play by play became a little tedious. Great if you are really into the sport. There were lots of emotional ups and downs that brought me to tears more than once. The narrator was very good.
