About this listen
Author of the #1 best-seller The Book of Negroes, Lawrence Hill is a writer of immense talent—and his literary reputation grows with each new work. Canadian Langston Cane V finds his writing career (and, indeed, his life) in stasis until inspired by his mentor to write about an ancestor who purportedly died fighting alongside John Brown at Harpers Ferry. Traveling to Baltimore, the latter-day Cane delves into history and in so doing awakens to new possibilities.

The shape of the past.
This book is written backwards, except for the contemporary chapters. As Langston (the 5th) investigates his family history, each step takes him a little further back in time. As all the main characters have the same name, it is very difficult to tell who is talking. Against a background of wars past or still to come, Hill weaves a generational tapestry of the Black experience over 150 years.
Due to gratuitous sex, the protagonists are mostly jerks.

Amazing audio book and an amazing story
This audio book is great quality, however the actual story is a bit confusing with all the characters named Langston cane. Besides that everything is amazing

Not what I was expecting
The book is alright. The story line seems a little bit simplistic. Also the erotic parts of the book seemed unnecessary. It just okay.
