Thigpen's well-known voice (Ella Farmer in The District TV series) will have your rapt attention as she narrates Toni Morrison's beautiful and powerful story. Thigpen's dramatic voice insinuates the subtle conflicts as Morrison's novel probes the relationships between blacks and whites, men and women, set on a Caribbean island. Tar Baby is magnificent novel, and a must listen for Morrison fans.
