the history and research is much appreciated

the readers voice or monotone as well ans the way she enunciated her "s" was difficult for my ears and I was not able to make put some of the words..

I like the Narrative of this story!

Very informative, I appreciate a walk down memory lane regarding such a controversial and intriguing Soul.

A look at the African Diaspora

this audible book not only told you about Marie, but it teaches you about African diaspora. The story of Marie is explained in a way, back to the people of Haiti and slavery. the people that were enslaved here, the United States, and Caribbean islands, were forced to change names and religion. it also explained America's dark past, where people turned into slaves that were thought to be property. however, africans we're forced into practicing Christianity, as I stated, but they had a little loop hole out due to segregation. when they were forced to "praise the Lord" they would make saints to represent one of the orishas. the old African powers, and God's and goddesses. the orishas are also explained through one the chapters in this audible book. this book is very good for learning about the history of slavery and religions like the Yoruba religions of West Africa. unfortunately since there was no written things about slaves and their history, Marie's past is still mysterious in a lot of ways. I'd write was known, but then I would give away spoilers. I really enjoyed this, and for 99 cents you should add it to your library. it will teach you many things and about history, and also give many details about Marie.

If You Want To Listen To Someone Read Their Thesis...

The reading was off and there's no story! It's a cold reading of findings while attempting to finish one's thesis on time. I do not recommend!

Boring read

Unfortunately the reader's voice was lack luster and the book was not very informative.
