Members Reviews:
Did not want it to end!
I really really loved this book. I listened to it on a 7 hour drive and was thoroughly entertained. I was so in to the characters and found parts very heart warming. I enjoy books about family issues. I see this book had mixed reviews, but I enjoyed it very much. I wish that the author would write a sequel. I recommend this book. I will now look for another book by Ms. Forster. I like her style.

Any additional comments?
Great read/listen. Enjoyed the story line.
The Best I have listened to so far! Don't pass up!
Would you listen to Blues from Down Deep again? Why?
It reminded me of Black cultural views in the South. Skin color appears to be so important.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Blues from Down Deep?
I would have to say it was when Juliette was in the hospital and everyone was saying she had had an abortion. Rumors spread like wild fire. Family was the main instigators.
What does Sharon Washington bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?
Excitement, the story made me feel like I was back at home in the Mississippi Delta.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
When I read a synopsis of the story, I really wanted to hear the entire storyline. I lived in Hawaii and the author hit the nail right on the head when describing how Polynesian men treat their women. They do not view any work outside the home as relevant. Some are quite sexist.
Any additional comments?
This was a Great read, I love Gwynne Forster, can't wait to listen to another one of her books.
On & on
The narrator's ok, on occasion forgetting to change her voice in changing character, not the romance novel I thought it would be. It was a drawn-out family reunion.
Family dysfuction
What did you love best about Blues from Down Deep?
This is my second audio by Gwynne Forster. She is an excellent writer and has a gift for understandable English. The many characters are extinct and memorable. Dysfunction can be recognized in families; but there are always a few who are loyal and attached without reserve. This story is about family, many of which can be close, distant by blood or via marriage.
