Fiction by Ernest J. Gaines
This is a fictional account of an interview with a 110-year-old former slave conducted in the late sixties. Miss Jane is quite a character, and her life story is very interesting! I didn’t care for the ending as much.
Apparently this is a classic of sorts; it was originally published in 1971. This audiobook version is newer; I’m not sure about the narrator but I did enjoy the book.
By the way, there is rather extensive use of the N-word in this book, which I understand is consistent with the history of the story, but can be jarring. Don't listen to the audiobook where anyone can hear it out of context!
