A must read!

I could not stop listening to the story. Great character development most interesting plot and very colorful descriptions of people and environment. Most entertaining, I highly recommend "This Bitter Earth"

Awesome

I finished this book wanting more. The narrator is awesome and the story closed a lot of secrets. But I wish there was more about JJ and Merci and so on.

Everything I hoped for

When I finished Sugar, I felt like I’d said goodbye to friends. When I found out (thanks, Ms. McFadden!) that This Bitter Earth was the sequel, I snatched it up and started listening right away.

These characters are so real and so sympathetically drawn that I wish I could knock on Joe and Pearl’s door and share a piece of her sweet potato pie while we catch up on how everybody’s doing — Sugar, Mercy, JJ, Seth (and Gloria and Jewel too), and maybe even Shirley Brown.

In family we find all the best, and sometimes all the worst, of this life. Sugar and This Bitter Earth showcase those themes. I’m so glad I discovered these stories and am looking forward to reading more of Ms. McFadden’s work.

Ms. Taylor does a fantastic job, narrating both books.

Highly recommend!

Incredible read

This 3rd book, just like the first 2 books did not disappoint. McFadden's ability to pull the reader into the life of her characters is a true gift.

Thank you !!

The sequel I needed

So glad there is a part 2 to Sugar. I just had to know what became of Sugar after her dramatic exit from Bigelow. The familial connections in a small town were mind blowing.

Simply Amazing

I love how everything came full circle. With JJ and everyone else. The only thing I wished I had more of is the story of JJ.

If you loved Sugar

If you loved Sugar, then you’ll love this installment.
Narrator was one of the best yet!!

Amazing Read

This was a great follow up
To Sugar. I definitely recommend this read . Great Story although tragic .

A Must Listen!

I’m so glad they made a book to follow up Sugar. I had to listen to it immediately. The writing and the performance were fantastic. They tied up a lot of loose ends from the last book. I enjoyed everything about this listen from start to finish.

I should have reread Sugar

Have you listened to any of Myra Lucretia Taylor’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I dont recall if Ive listened to this particular narrator

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

If I had time-I suppose I could listen in one sitting.
