Did You Hear about Kitty Karr?: A Novel

Product Information

To complicate matters, her neighbor and friend Kitty Karr, has left her in charge of settling her estate. The audiobook has separate voices for each character, and Ariel Blake, Kineta Kunutu and Lynnette Nicholas did a great job of telling such an emotional story!

The fog was low and thick, so she removed her heels before descending to the third tier of yard and through the vegetable garden that hid her father’s studio. It was a gift, given to her mother more than two decades ago by a French director courting her for a film she ultimately declined.

Although I found the premise utterly intriguing and the writing to be bingeable, I struggled with the overall execution of this book, which left it feeling like a very average read with a lot to say but an inability to actually do so. The truth behind Kitty’s ascent to stardom from her beginnings in the segregated South threatens to expose a web of unexpected family ties, debts owed, and debatable crimes that could, with one pull, unravel the all-American fabric of the St.

The tributes were numerous, and her films and decade-long-running television show shot to the top of digital sales. I think while of course, there are things that happen to Kitty, she makes the choice to go along with it too.The story became a lot more interesting to me after it opened up a second timeline about a single mother in the segregated South in the 1930s-50s. Plus Elise's epiphany and desire to good by the end of this felt superficial at best and egotistical at worse with her exposition dump of newly acquired social justice knowledge felt rushed and forced. Some characters were introduced, and yet we spent no time understanding who they were or why they were important to Kitty. Startled to find the sixteen-seat conference table full, they didn’t break stride as they took the two remaining seats.

It would've been easy to put this book down and never pick it back up had it not for those I was reading with.

Prior to becoming a mom, I could spend hours reading books at night until the morning—knowing very well I could sleep in the next day.
