Reviews
"[A] supremely readable debut novel...Fluidly narrated by engaging characters... Mudbound is packed with drama. Pick it up, then pass it on." --People, four stars, "An ambitious and affecting debut...Accessible, engaging and spiked with suspense...[A] tremendous gift." --Paste, four stars, An "absorbing debut novel . . . Is it too early to say, after just one book, that here's a voice that will echo for years to come? With authentic, earthy prose . . . Jordan picks at the scabs of racial inequality that will perhaps never fully heal and brings just enough heartbreak to this intimate, universal tale, just enough suspense, to leave us contemplating how the lives and motives of these vivid characters might have been different."-- Biloxi Sun Herald, "A compelling family tragedy, a confluence of romantic attraction and racial hatred that eventually falls like an avalanche...The last third of the book is downright breathless." --The Washington Post Book World, "[A] poignant and moving debut novel. . . . Jordan faultlessly portrays the values of the 1940s as she builds to a stunning conclusion. Highly recommended."-Library Journal

Synopsis
In Jordan's prize-winning debut, prejudice takes many forms, both subtle and brutal. It is 1946, and city-bred Laura McAllan is trying to raise her children on her husband's Mississippi Delta farm-a place she finds foreign and frightening. In the midst of the family's struggles, two young men return from the war to work the land. Jamie McAllan, Laura's brother-in-law, is everything her husband is not-charming, handsome, and haunted by his memories of combat. Ronsel Jackson, eldest son of the black sharecroppers who live on the McAllan farm, has come home with the shine of a war hero. But no matter his bravery in defense of his country, he is still considered less than a man in the Jim Crow South. It is the unlikely friendship of these brothers-in-arms that drives this powerful novel to its inexorable conclusion. The men and women of each family relate their versions of events and we are drawn into their lives as they become players in a tragedy on the grandest scale. As Kingsolver says of Hillary Jordan, "Her characters walked straight out of 1940s Mississippi and into the part of my brain where sympathy and anger and love reside, leaving my heart racing. They are with me still.", In Jordan's prize-winning debut, prejudice takes many forms, both subtle and brutal.

- l***8 (2703)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufA very good quality hardcover children’s book. Not in’Very Good’ condition though - damage to the inside rear cover and adjacent book spine weakened where it looks like promotional material was torn out. Also, outside spine had multiple layers of gummy stickers attached. All pages present and in good condition. Overall OK appearance and value.
