À propos de cet audio
Set in the tumultuous year of 1968 in southern Virginia, a racially-charged murder case sets a duo of white and Black lawyers against a deeply unfair system as they work to defend their wrongfully-accused Black defendants in this courtroom drama from #1 New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci.
Jack Lee is a white lawyer from Freeman County, Virginia, who has never done anything to push back against racism, until he decides to represent Jerome Washington, a Black man charged with brutally killing an elderly and wealthy white couple. Doubting his decision, Lee fears that his legal skills may not be enough to prevail in a case where the odds are already stacked against both him and his client. And he quickly finds himself out of his depth when he realizes that what is at stake is far greater than the outcome of a murder trial.
Desiree DuBose is a Black lawyer from Chicago who has devoted her life to furthering the causes of justice and equality for everyone. She comes to Freeman County and enters a fractious and unwieldy partnership with Lee in a legal battle against the best prosecutor in the Commonwealth. Yet DuBose is also aware that powerful outside forces are at work to blunt the victories achieved by the Civil Rights era.
Lee and DuBose could not be more dissimilar. On their own, neither one can stop the prosecution’s deliberate march towards a guilty verdict and the electric chair. But together, the pair fight for what once seemed impossible: a chance for a fair trial and true justice.
Over a decade in the writing, A Calamity of Souls breathes richly imagined and detailed life into a bygone era, taking the listener through a world that will seem both foreign and familiar.

Histoire
Every day without fail, Travis Devine puts on a cheap suit, grabs his faux-leather briefcase, and boards the 6:20 commuter train to Manhattan, where he works as an entry-level analyst at the city’s most prestigious investment firm. In the mornings, he gazes out the train window at the lavish homes of the uberwealthy, dreaming about joining their ranks. In the evenings, he listens to the fiscal news on his phone, already preparing for the next grueling day in the cutthroat realm of finance. Then one morning Devine’s tedious routine is shattered by an anonymous email: She is dead.

All Reacher knows is that he didn’t kill anybody. At least not here. Not lately. But he doesn’t stand a chance of convincing anyone. Not in Margrave, Georgia. Not a chance in hell.

Ce que les critiques en disent
“A Calamity of Souls, the story of a murder in southern Virginia in the mid-1960’s, may be the best novel David Baldacci has ever written, which is saying a great deal. It has a gripping plot and a shocking ending, and even better than that, is also a perfect evocation of a difficult time in America’s history, propelled by deep and moving characters and beautiful writing. It captured me completely from the very first page.”—Scott Turow, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author
"This is David Baldacci at his best. Using the law and the courtroom as the stage for a searing parable on race and the cost and courage to do the right thing."—Michael Connelly, #1 New York Times bestselling author

A Soul Searching Journey
This story speaks to a time not long past. A time when I was young and aware of the brutal battle going on around me, but with no real understanding of it.
Reading this book has helped me to connect pieces of my past and gifted me a tiny, heart wrenching glimpse of the oppression and hatred we inflicted on our black brothers and sisters.
If you heart is open, this story will help make you more aware and hopefully more willing to be part of the change that is so badly needed in this world.
The characters are relatable, yhe struggles are real and the story is captivating. I cried more than once.

Tough to listen to at times, but worth it
A Calamity of Souls is not always easy to listen to, but it's a must listen. I often thought the author was trying to write somewhat of a "To Kill a Mockingbird" style novel and at times, the book is referenced. It's a great book that deserves attention and time as it gets off to a slow start.
There are also many twists and turns you won't expect!

This book is not up to his usual quality. It has a very predictable storyline. The courtroom drama was not believable (creating eye rolling responses)and the writing simplistic…. So disappointed.

Certainly not his best
It seemed like he was trying too hard to write in a style that doesn’t suit him. It was forced at times and some of the characters lacked any depth. Ok if nothing else available - otherwise take a pass
