Yellow Crocus tells the story of a relationship between Lisbeth, the white daughter of a plantation owner and her black slave wet nurse, Mattie. The first half of the book concerns Lisbeth's childhood and her love of Mattie, while the second half is more focused on Lisbeth growing up and working out for herself that slavery is a Bad Thing and that she really shouldn't marry an utter git that thinks nothing of (view spoiler)[ raping one of his young female slaves (hide spoiler)]. 
 I can see why a lot of people like this book - it does have a strong "feel good" vibe about it (including (view spoiler)[an unbelievably contrived Happy Ending!) (hide spoiler)]) but for me that was also its downfall. I feel that it glossed over the horrors of slavery too much and I found Lisbeth's naivety to more irritating than endearing. 
 I listened to the audiobook of Yellow Crocus as part of the Book Riot Read Harder Challenge. The task is to listen to a book that has won an Audie Award. This won the Audie Award for Solo Narration - Female in 2015. Although I didn't think much of the book itself, I would say that the narration was pretty well done in my opinion and I would be happy to listen to other books narrated by Bhani Turpin.
