I didn’t realise when I requested that this is a rerelease of an old short story. The narration is good and this is a story about a young black girl who feels like she doesn’t fit in at school. It’s a pleasant enough listen but far too short and feels incomplete.

I was just about to begin Small Great Things from my audible library when I noticed this prequel was available to download from NetGalley, so naturally I had to listen to it first. Short, punchy and emotional, I’m now looking forward to the main event even more. I assume I’m about to meet adult Ruth, with the knowledge of how early in her life she had to deal with racism.

Great production, lovely narration.

Huge thanks to Bolinda Audio and NetGalley for the opportunity to review this ALC 🎧
