The orphaned Francis Marion Tarwater and his cousin, Rayber, defy the prophecy of their dead uncle - that Tarwater will become a prophet and will baptize Rayber"s young son, Bishop. A series of struggles ensue, as Tarwater fights an internal battle against his innate faith and the voices calling him to be a prophet, while Rayber tries to draw Tarwater into a more “reasonable” modern world. Both wrestle with the legacy of their dead relatives and lay claim to Bishop"s soul.

Excellent Narration

Flannery O"Connor creates interesting and unforgettable characters. The narration of this audiobook only adds to the beauty of the language and the suffering of the characters. I will listen again just to immerse myself in this other world created by one of America"s great writers.
