Acerca de Bahni Turpin
Bahni Turpin ha estado recogiendo audaces títulos innovadores, como The Help y The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks–a lo largo de su carrera, pero estos dos últimos años se destacan por su fenomenal trabajo en algunos títulos asombrosos que le han valido aún más fama y nuevos fans. En 2016 Turpin narró libros como The Feminist Fight Club, la guía de sexismo en el lugar de trabajo parte manual/parte manifesto; The Underground Railroad, una selección del Oprah Book Club; Dust Tracks on a Road, la biografía de Zora Neal Hurston; y Sister of Mine, una imaginada obra de la época de la Guerra Civil sobre el drama familiar, por la que ganó un premio Audie. La totalidad de su obra en 2016 la hizo nuestra elección para el Narrador del Año 2016.
Y luego llegó The Hate U Give, la novela debut 2017 de Angie Thomas que salta a la conversación actual en torno a la justicia social a través de los ojos de una joven afroestadounidense especial llamada Starr mientras trata con la muerte de su amiga a manos de un blanco. La encarnación de Turpin de personajes que abarcan una amplia gama de edades y orígenes culturales es asombrosa, y ayuda a tirar más lejos en el mundo de la autora y conducir a casa todo el dolor y la emoción que cargan.
Turpin es también actriz de teatro y cine, apareciendo en espectáculos como Criminal Minds, y es miembro de la compañía Cornerstone Theater. Entre sus muchas otras actividades no relacionadas con la actuación, es instructora de yoga desde hace mucho tiempo.

Moments after Lisbeth is born, she’s taken from her mother and handed over to an enslaved wet nurse, Mattie, a young mother separated from her own infant son in order to care for her tiny charge. Thus begins an intense relationship that will shape both of their lives for decades to come. Though Lisbeth leads a life of privilege, she finds nothing but loneliness in the company of her overwhelmed mother and her distant, slave-owning father.

When two Union soldiers stumble onto a plantation in northern Georgia on a warm May day in 1864, the last thing they expect is to see the Union flag flying high - or to be greeted by a group of freed slaves and their Jewish mistress. Little do they know that this place has an unusual history. Twelve years prior, Adelaide Mannheim - daughter of Mordecai, the only Jewish planter in the county - was given her own maid, a young slave named Rachel. The two became friends, and soon they discovered a secret.
