Acerca de esta escucha
From the author of Dear Marcus comes a breathtaking novel about a fated love affair that crosses the divides of race and class.
Rashid is a young Black man from Bed Stuy, Brooklyn, with a complicated life. Looking for an escape from a neighborhood few ever leave, he finds it in Rachel - married, twenty years his senior, and the daughter of a Holocaust survivor. It begins with a flirtation and a tryst. It becomes an intense romance, exhilarating and enriching, that defies the expectations of Rashid’s friends and family. What draws Rachel to Rashid is his curiosity, his need for intimacy, and his adoration - everything lacking in her crumbling marriage. But as the fault lines of their relationship become more prevalent, so do the inevitable choices one makes when falling in love.

Legal investigator Finley O’Sullivan searches for evidence the police overlooked, wading through secrets, lies, and betrayal to find answers. With the unsolved murder of her husband still very much on her mind, Finley must confront her own personal trauma on a daily basis. Lies are part of her livelihood, but they’re also the reason she can’t get justice for the man she loved. When a man imprisoned for murder recants his confession, claiming he cleaned up the mess for his girlfriend—the victim’s own daughter—Finley takes on the case.

If Rachel can keep the very handsome and slightly too interested best man at bay, that is.

Aly Jackson has waited her whole life to become editor in chief of All Good magazine. But six months into the job, she overhears her coworkers belittling her. Aly’s clapback?

Except when Aly arrives, she discovers Luke’s slacker best friend, Wyatt, inherited the place, too.

One drop of blood for a chance at a multimillion-dollar windfall. Is it a philanthropic gesture from a billionaire widow? Some suspect a darker motive behind the DNA lottery—one tied to the eighteen-year-old mystery of an infant’s unidentified remains that mars the history of idyllic Rosemary Hills, Iowa. Right after the blood lottery is announced, three local women fall under suspicion of knowing something about that night, and their carefully kept secrets threaten to spill out too.

The summer that Nixon resigns, six teenagers at a summer camp for the arts become inseparable. Decades later the bond remains powerful, but so much else has changed. In The Interestings, Wolitzer follows these characters from the height of youth through middle age, as their talents, fortunes, and degrees of satisfaction diverge. The kind of creativity that is rewarded at age 15 is not always enough to propel someone through life at age 30; not everyone can sustain, in adulthood, what seemed so special in adolescence.

Reseñas de la Crítica
“McGill’s prose can acquire a quick, musical rhythm before settling into more expansive sections that deftly take on questions of race and class. In many ways, the novel is a wonder to behold.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Smart and touching…McGill succeeds in depicting love as a universal force, for better or for worse.”—Publishers Weekly
“Love defies all odds in Jerry McGill’s lyrical and heartbreaking novel Bed Stuy.”—POPSUGAR

couldn't put it down
it's not very often that I get so wrapped up in a story that I can't stop until it's over but this was so captivating I just had to keep listening... I never heard of the author before and now I want to listen to his biography "Dear Marcus" ... at first I found the performer to have an odd voice or way of speaking but came to think he was perfect for the part... I'm glad I came across this poignant novel...

Bed Stuy: A Love Story by Jerry McGill is not for me. I didn't care for or like anyone. I found it to be contradicting and underwhelming. I am very happy it is a short book; however, that may be part of the problem as the characters didn't really have time to change or grow.
I like the timber of Preston Butler III's voice. However, there are quite a few mispronounced words, which is a pet peeve of mine, as well as awkward pauses in the middle of sentences and no pause between scene changes, making the book hard to follow.
I rate Bed Stuy 2 stars as I did stay engaged. I don't think I'd give Jerry McGill another chance.
