Mudbound The Tears of Mississippi

1946 on a cotton farm in the Mississippi Delta: Laura has moved to the countryside for her husband's sake. In an environment that feels foreign and frightening to her. Amidst the new challenges she faces, two young war veterans enter her life. Jamie, Laura's brother-in-law, who is visibly concerned for her well-being and to whom Laura secretly makes advances, and Ronsel, the eldest son of her African American tenant family. The two men quickly bond over their traumatic war experiences. Jamie cannot find peace, but Ronsel also struggles to achieve the well-deserved tranquility. He returns as a hero from the front, yet his service to the country means little in Mississippi, which is still marked by racial segregation. An intense debut novel told with great force, serving as a plea against exclusion, presented as an unabridged audiobook with an outstanding narrator.
