À propos de cet audio

 This is a novel in the guise of the tape-recorded recollections of a black woman who has lived 110 years, who has been both a slave and a witness to the black militancy of the 1960s. In this woman, Ernest Gaines has created a legendary figure, a woman equipped to stand beside William Faulkner's Dilsey in The Sound and the Fury. Miss Jane Pittman, like Dilsey, has "endured", has seen almost everything and foretold the rest.©1971 Bantam Books (P)1996 by Blackstone Audiobooks Classiques Fiction Fiction de genre Fiction littéraire Historique Biographie

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Gaines' novel brings to mind other great works: The Odyssey, for the way his heroine's travels manage to summarize the American history of her race; and Huckleberry Finn for the clarity of her voice, for her rare capacity to sort through the mess of years and things to find the one true story of it all." (Newsweek)

I remember when I was young in the movie came out. But the way this book ended was not like the story. It was good, but I was waiting for the rest of it. The book ended. I remember Miss Jane Pittman went and drank from that water fountain, but this book left all of that out.

Loved it but hurt

The story was very interesting and well narrated but I think there were a few “editing issues (cut and paste, gaps, different recording mic’s/studios). Did not take away from the story just noticeable.

Good but some editing issues
