Description
Why exactly Charley Bordelon's late father left her eight hundred sprawling acres of sugarcane land in rural Louisiana is as mysterious as it was generous. Recognizing this as a chance to start over, Charley and her eleven-year-old daughter, Micah, say good-bye to Los Angeles. They arrive just in time for growing season but no amount of planning can prepare Charley for a Louisiana that's mired in the past: as her judgmental but big-hearted grandmother tells her, cane farming is always going to be a white man's business. As the sweltering summer unfolds, Charley must balance the overwhelming challenges of her farm with the demands of a homesick daughter, a bitter and troubled brother, and the startling desires of her own heart.

- content: Natalie Baszile debuts with an irresistible tale of family, community, personal obligation, and personal reinvention. The world is full of things that keep you down and things that lift you up - Queen Sugar is about both and in approximately equal measure. Smart and heart-felt and highly recommended.

- content: Narrator Miriam Hyman presents the story of Charley Bordelon, a recently widowed mother who pulls up stakes in L.A. to return to her family roots in Louisiana. Her recently deceased father has left her an eight-hundred-acre fallow sugarcane plantation that she must bring back to life if she and her daughter are have a future. Through tone and pacing, Hyman brings the characters to life--from the strong-willed Charley, who will do whatever it takes to have a successful harvest, to her equally strong-willed grandmother, who puts responsibility to family above all, and her bitter half-brother, whose attitude of victimhood almost destroys them all. The story's pace is slow, but the patient listener hears a slice of a little known culture. N.E.M. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine
