James is a profound and ferociously funny novel from one of our greatest living writers, Percival Everett.

The Mississippi River, 1861. When the enslaved Jim overhears that he is about to be sold to a new owner in New Orleans and separated from his wife and daughter forever, he flees to nearby Jackson’s Island until he can formulate a plan. Meanwhile, Huck Finn has faked his own death to escape his violent father who recently returned to town.
So begins a dangerous and transcendent journey along the Mississippi River, towards the elusive promise of the free states and beyond. As James and Huck navigate the treacherous waters, each bend in the river holds the promise of both salvation and demise. And together, the unlikely pair embark on the most life-changing odyssey of them all . . .

It lives up to the hype!
I couldn't stop listening - even though some parts were quite sad. Very moving. I think it feels like a modern classic!

Brilliant book
Loved every minute. Didn’t want it to end. Some parts were hard to listen to but Percival Everett, as usual, tells the story so well.
