The Conjure Woman (Unabrdiged)

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

The Conjure Woman isn't a novel, but a collection of seven interconnected short stories. Narrated by Uncle Julius, a formerly enslaved man, to a newly arrived Northern couple, the tales unfold in the post-Civil War South.

Each story blends elements of Southern folklore, 'conjure' (folk magic), and social commentary. Uncle Julius uses wit and cunning to navigate the challenges faced by the Black community in a time of societal upheaval. The narratives often challenge the power dynamics and racial prejudice of the era, offering a nuanced perspective on life in the Reconstruction South.
