Description
Anna Paquin narrates Rita Mae Brown’s pathbreaking novel Rubyfruit Jungle, available for the first time ever in audio. Written by a New York Times bestselling author, this Lambda Literary Pioneer Award winner is “the rare work of fiction that has changed real life” (Gloria Steinem). In the rural South, misfit Molly Bolt forges her own path as she defies the expectations of her closed-minded community. “Truly incredible” (The Boston Globe), with narration from an Academy Award–winning actress.
A landmark coming-of-age novel that launched the career of one of this country’s most distinctive voices, Rubyfruit Jungle remains a transformative work since its original publication almost fifty years ago.
In bawdy, moving prose, Rita Mae Brown tells the story of Molly Bolt, the adoptive daughter of a dirt-poor Southern couple who boldly forges her own path in America. With her startling beauty and crackling wit, Molly finds that women are drawn to her wherever she goes—and she refuses to apologize for loving them back.
This literary milestone continues to resonate with its message about being true to yourself and, against the odds, living happily ever after.
