Mudbound | Hillary Jordan
In Jordan's prize-winning debut, prejudice takes many forms, both subtle and brutal. It is 1946, and city-bred Laura McAllan is trying to raise her children on her husband's Mississippi Delta farma place she finds foreign and frightening. In the midst of the family's struggles, two young men return from the war to work the land. Jamie McAllan, Laura's brother-in-law, is everything her husband is notcharming, handsome, and haunted by his memories of combat. Ronsel Jackson, eldest son of the black sharecroppers who live on the McAllan farm, has come home with the shine of a war hero. But no matter his bravery in defense of his country, he is still considered less than a man in the Jim Crow South. It is the unlikely friendship of these brothers-in-arms that drives this powerful novel to its inexorable conclusion. The men and women of each family relate their versions of events and we are drawn into their lives as they become players in a tragedy on the grandest scale. As Kingsolver says of Hillary Jordan, "Her characters walked straight out of 1940s Mississippi and into the part of my brain where sympathy and anger and love reside, leaving my heart racing. They are with me still."

This is one of the few books I read after watching the movie, but it didn‘t affect my enjoyment of the story at all. Although, enjoyment might be the wrong word, considering the subject matter. This book is very well-written and I felt so deeply for the main characters.

Becker This has been on my shelf for years. Maybe I should get around to it soon. 6mo

Mehso-so

1. The entire time I was reading this I kept accidentally calling it Mudblood. 😆
2. I really enjoyed the first 80% of this. I'd give that 4⭐. Then the last 20% came along and ruined it. Awful, hopeless, depressing ending. Even though the theme is racism, I expected SOMETHING good to be shown, some clear point or hope...and there's just not. I guess the author was going for realistic, but it didn't work for me. Disappointing.

A beautiful atmospheric debut set in 1940‘s Mississippi. Two families, one black one white. Two families toiling the land, one owner,one tenet. A shared life but not equal. Told in multiple POVs ~ haunting and emotionally resonating. #Booked21 #MustacheOnCover #PoP21 #ThreeGenerations Highly Recommended

The Mississippi Delta right after WWII. A way of life like it has been for ages: white farmers, black tenants, separated lives. For both a white and a black soldier who fought and were received as heroes in Europe it is strange to go back to a place where nothing changed. Where all is about race.

A disturbing and emotional read with very real characters. Highly recommended.

Powerful story of racism, friendship, land and violence. Set in Mississippi after WWII, this is the story of the McAllens‘ struggle to work the land and 2 veterans (one black, one white) who struggle to deal with a world that hasn‘t changed as they have. Tragic and yet not without hope. https://cannonballread.com/2018/11/the-book-was-better-but-the-film-was-still-ex...

This was so good. I knew absolutely nothing about it when I bought it. I am not normally a fan of books where the POV alternates between multiple characters, but I thought it worked really well here. I‘ve read so few books that really explore the lives of soldiers after returning home from WWII- I thought Mudbound did an excellent job with that aspect of the story.

Over all I will give this book a flashing 4 stars. Only because I did not appreciate the ending for the Jackson family. I felt like there was not a far balance between the two families. I am probably biased but I feel that this book was a little biased too.

I did enjoy this book and it was a definite page turner.

A powerful and incredibly moving novel, quite unforgettable. Recommend - Read it. Watch the film.

A story of two southern families that live through unbearable circumstance during the Jim Crow era. So many struggles and hardships abound that had my heart aching. And that brutal climactic scene with Ronsel will haunt me for a while. This book is gut wrenching and has highly sensitive issues that will bring tears to your eyes. 😥😔

This book was a pick for our couples book club. I must add that one of ours members is Afro American, the rest are white. I am a bit nervous about how this discussion is going to go. 😳
I loved the intensity in which the author describes each character and feel it is a well written book. But the subject matter is quite disturbing.
