About this audiobook

Lyrical, poetic, and hypnotizing, The Coming tells the story of a people's capture and sojourn from their homeland across the Middle Passage-a traumatic trip that exposed the strength and resolve of the African spirit. Extreme conditions produce extraordinary insight, and only after being stripped of everything do they discover the unspeakable beauty they once took for granted. This powerful, haunting novel will shake listeners to their very souls.

Ratings and reviews

The audiobook is vivid in its journey from the shores of Africa to the Americas. You as the listener experience what those unwilling souls felt while traveling from their homes to a terror that still echos 500 years later.
