Natchez

A Novel of the Deep South

De: Pamela Jekel

Narrado por: Mary Sarah

Natchez is a stunning saga by NY Times bestselling author, Pamela Jekel, the second in her Southern trilogy. Spanning four generations of proud, strong-willed women, Natchez tells the story of hardships of frontier life, the glitter and opulence of plantation balls, the ravages of the Civil War, and the Great Flood of 1885. Anne, whose parents carved out an empire from the rich delta soil and created Graced Ground, destined to become one of the finest plantations in Louisiana; Arden, the southern belle raised in a land of King Cotton and unparalleled luxury until the Civil War forces her to face an uncertain future; Felicity who endures the terror of the night riders, the hope and heartbreak of Reconstruction, and LeeAnn, who must struggle for her place in a changing world, caught between two powerful, domineering women. Natchez is a story of mothers and daughters, of the unspoken struggle for control of the hearts and minds of each new generation, and the lesson that it is in the letting go that hearts are finally bound fast. Natchez was a national bestseller and published in ten foreign languages.

Fascinating!

I have to admit I was never really that interested in the history of the south but I am now. Natchez, while fictional, gives such detail about the period of time in the deep south before, during and after the Civil War, that you feel like you were there. I listen to audible on my long commute to work and it was the first book I have listened to where I kept forgetting to get off at my exit because I was so caught up in the story. The characters are developed so well I couldn't wait to hear more. I strongly recommend this book.
