Good Dirt is the story of a family tragedy and how it shapes the lives of the remaining family. The timeline is a bit all over the place: Ebby’s flight to France after her fiancé doesn’t turn up to their lavish wedding in the present, the house intrusion in the present past, Ebby’s family history in the distant past (Africa, slavery and escape). Now, I’m a fan of multiple timelines, but these were a bit too disjointed, and it did require a bit of concentration (especially on a dog walk). This may well be a different experience if you read the book, but I struggled a bit, and had to keep checking chapter headings and rewinding now and again. Perhaps this was just the wrong time to listen to it. I did like the story, though.
