"How?" I asked. "How are they not the same?"

In 1791 when seven-year-old Irish orphan Lavinia is transported to Virginia to work in the kitchen of a wealthy plantation owner, she is absorbed into the life of the kitchen house and becomes part of the family of black slaves whose fates are tied to the plantation. But Lavinia’s skin will always set her apart, whether she wishes it or not. And as she grows older, she will be torn between the life that awaits her as a white woman and the people she knows as kin....

I enjoyed every aspect of this audiobook and story. It kept me interested all the way through. I'd definitely recommend it and I can't fault either of the narrator's - in my opinion they were both brilliant.

Fantastic

Wow, where do I start with this amazing audio book! If you liked Where the Crawdads Sing, then this book is for you. The narrators were superb, I was absolutely absorbed in this story, and couldn't stop listening. I will miss these characters very much! I am soooo glad there is a sequel! Thank you for a brilliant book. This will be one of my favourite books of all time.

One of the best audio books ever!
