One Night in Georgia

A Novel

De: Celeste O. Norfleet

Narrado por: Joniece Abbott-Pratt

One Night in Georgia has descriptive copy which is not yet available from the Publisher.

A bit long and drawn out but..

It was a pretty good book. Historic, though provoking views and each character had a different perspective on their black experience. Amazingly I felt that the author held each character true to their viewpoint til the end and allowed me to see the world through each characters eye...what ever happened to Maize? 🤷🏽‍♀️

Amazing story

This book had me on the edge the whole time! My emotions was all over the place! The narrator is one of the best in my opinion! I felt so bad for the main character hell for all of them!
I won’t give spoilers but the ending was shocking and good for this to be a short story it made me want more but was satisfied with the ending it left to wonder about.

Worth The Read

Wow! I just finished “One Night In Georgia” by Celeste O. Norfleet

It is worth the read.

Overall, I found the narrative overworked. Too many adverbs and incidents. Had Norfleet eliminated or reduced her use adverbs and narrowed the incidents (maybe two), and built on those, this novel would reflect a more mature narrative.

The book is good, the historical frame is interesting and holds the narrative together. "One Night In Georgia..." is a fairly quick read with a troublesome end.

Read it! It really is worth the read.

Great read!

This book deserves more than 5 stars!! One of the best books I've read this year. The characters are well thought out and so clearly designed. The narration is outstanding! These 4 young people on this journey from NYC to Georgia in 1968 are in for so many surprises, good and bad. Even though some of the things which happened to them were things they had heard about and told to be on the lookout for, they were still not prepared for the hatred, meanness, and some kindness that they received. As I listened, I could see and feel their fear, happiness, wonder, and anger. This is a MUST READ! Whether you were alive in 1968 or not, you need to read this book. There just aren't enough accolades that I can shower this book with, and for that I'm sad.

Reverting!

This is a fiery walk down segregation land. Three young Black women and one Black men cannot ride from New York to Atlanta without being served hatred.. A vivid tale of an unfortunate night in Georgia.
