Historia
The Hamlet, the first novel of Faulkner's Snopes trilogy, is both an ironic take on classical tragedy and a mordant commentary on the grand pretensions of the antebellum South and the depths of its decay in the aftermath of war and Reconstruction. It tells of the advent and the rise of the Snopes family in Frenchman's Bend, a small town built on the ruins of a once-stately plantation.

Like no other books about the war, Wouk's spellbinding narrative captures the tide of global events - and all the drama, romance, heroism, and tragedy of World War II - as it immerses us in the lives of a single American family drawn into the very center of the war's maelstrom.

It's 1933 in East Texas and the Depression lingers in the air like a slow-moving storm. When a young Harry Collins and his little sister stumble across the body of a black woman who has been savagely mutilated and left to die in the bottoms of the Sabine River, their small town is instantly charged with tension. When a second body turns up, this time of a white woman, there is little Harry can do from stopping his Klan neighbors from lynching an innocent black man.

Historia
A gifted, idolized singer returns to his poor hometown and a life and family he is so far removed from he now holds them in contempt. The Gospel Singer reveals the absurdity of blind religious faith and idol worship and the hypocrisy that results with the offering of money or sex. Crews grapples with race, gender, religion, and place and steps back to divulge the secrets of his characters - including a dead girl awaiting the gospel singer’s melodious eulogy, his dysfunctional family, a murderer, the zealous town residents, and a traveling freak show.

Historia
Twelve times a week, 28-year-old Ella May Wiggins makes the two-mile trek to and from her job on the night shift at American Mill No. Two in Bessemer City, North Carolina. The insular community considers the mill's owners - the newly arrived Goldberg brothers - white but not American and expects them to pay Ella May and other workers less because they toil alongside African Americans like Violet, Ella May's best friend. While the dirty, hazardous job at the mill earns Ella May a paltry nine dollars for 72 hours of work each week, it's the only opportunity she has.

Historia
Allan Gurganus's Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All became an instant classic upon its publication. Critics and fans alike fell in love with the voice of 99-year-old Confederate widow Lucy Marsden, one of the most entertaining and loquacious heroines in American literature. Lucy married at the turn of the 20th century, when she was 15 and her husband was 50. If Colonel William Marsden was a veteran of the "War for Southern Independence", Lucy became a "veteran of the veteran" with a unique perspective on Southern history and Southern manhood.

Historia
After the stunning historical novels The Clearing and The Missing, Tim Gautreaux now ranges freely through contemporary life with 12 new stories and eight from previous collections. Most are set in his beloved Louisiana, many hard by or on the Mississippi River, others in North Carolina, and even in midwinter Minnesota. But generally it's heat, humidity, and bugs that beset his people as they wrestle with affairs of the heart, matters of faith, and the pros and cons of tight-knit communities.

Prepare to Be Sucked In
There’s a whirlpool – an image used at least once in the book – at the center of this story, and it pulls you under as relentlessly as it does the hapless characters. The superb three-volume narrative history of the Civil War, the only other work by Shelby Foote that I’ve read, hardly prepared me for a fictional story as quickly and deeply engaging as this. Foote always thought of himself primarily as a novelist, and now I know why.
Of course, you’ll be reminded of O’Conner and Faulkner (especially his collection, Knight’s Gambit), but this is its own animal, the only similarity being the lasting impression felt when it’s all over. The writing is vivid, the characters memorably drawn, and their overlapping testimonies illuminating. Where they corroborate each other, the story gains in dimension. Where they diverge – usually over differing intentions and perceptions – tragedy ensues. It is all masterfully done, as is Grover Gardner's performance. He is always a pleasure to listen to.

A good look at the past
Shelby Foote's books always have a good story and an honest look at the old south. I enjoy them very much.

Good old Southern story
If you like southern fiction, you probably can't go wrong with this author. Several colorful characters make up the story, and it has a tinge of melancholy throughout. It's definitely not a feel good or picker upper sort of story, but it'd fit the bill for old fashioned southern storytelling.
Narration was very good.

What an incredible novel...with one flaw
I know Shelby Foote only from his remarkable Civil War histories (read them, please!) and so his novel here took me by surprise. It is Faulknerian and recalls Robert Penn Warren and Flannery O'Connor, among other great Southern writers.
A great tale told and retold through the lenses of a dozen or so narrators but never feels repetitive or boring. A tour-de-force of narrative style and voice: each of the prismatic views holds its own truth and its own voice, and that's a remarkable achievement. If I were ever to be given the chance to teach a course in 20th Century American Southern Novels, this would be in my top five to have my students read.
My one criticism of the novel (and please see my critique of John Williams's novel "Stoner") is the lack of depth of the references to African American people in the text. When they are not simply referred to using the n-word (realistically enough and not reflecting on Foote himself), they are ciphers...unknown and unknowable to the complete list of absolutely white narrators. Why couldn't Foote have created at least one white narrator in this novel who doesn't hate and disparage African Americans? It serves no plot reason since nothing hinges upon race in that regard. I find it troubling to read literature of that time and to see white authors simply abdicating the power they have to make a difference by creating honest, open, and fully human non-white characters. Faulkner did it...why can't others?

Mr. Foote weaves a wonderful tale with his usual Southern graces and flow. A wordsmith’s talent that few others can match.

Worth The Trip
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. An everyday story but told in a very novel way. No suspense but rather a study in character.
What did you like best about this story?
The way it is told through the eyes of the killer, the victim, the wife of the killer and the defense attorney.
What about Tom Parker’s performance did you like?
His easy going manner and his knowledge of when to pause a second for the listener.
If you could rename Follow Me Down, what would you call it?
What Did I Just Do?
Any additional comments?
This was my first Shelby Foote novel. I have read and listened to his Civil War histories and it is interesting to hear his work in a different genre.

A simple murder told by 6 different people
This book, written by the racist civil war narrative writer, is pretty simple. A murder occurs and within the first chapter we are told everything about it. But then we get the story from everyone involved plus more (such as the clerk from the case?!). But we really get just their thoughts and feelings, nothing like Rashmon where each character has their own version of events.
This book is more style than content. It is interesting to read what each character thinks and what others don’t know but really the story isn’t effected by any of this. The writing style kinda of reminds me of those old books such as Melville or Faulkner. The narrator does an amazing job with the southern accents which many people do not. If the above interest you then you’ll definitely enjoy this book.

Quite a Surprise
When I started listening I was prepared to not care for Follow Me Down but it took no time to find it was well written with a great story. The story is told from several points of view, each more entertaining than the one before. I'll listen to this one again one day.
