About this listen

Set in Trion, Alabama, Janet Hall is a novel of love, guilt, family, manners, bourbon, friendship, and redemption that moves between the present and the past.

Janet and Jacob have had a forty-nine-year affair—Trion High School sweethearts, a young married couple, a divorced couple who can’t stay out of each other’s bed, even when Jacob was remarried with twin girls. The glue of their tumultuous relationship is a mutual passion for each other and for the written word. Jacob, the writer, full of early success, has lost his nerve and requires the approval of Janet, his ideal reader, before he can submit his work for publication. Janet awaits his daily call, usually after midnight when both are tipsy.

One night, she gives him an ultimatum: "Either come back to Trion, or I’m done. Find someone else to hold your hand." The next day, Jacob is dead.

Brilliant narration from Michelle Thompson, who brings the feelings, emotions and characters alive in our ears.


Janet finds herself going back to her and her ex-husband home town after Jacob died. A place full of history of the family and people that shaped them. We see this all through Janet’s eyes. From high school friends and enemies, how all of them made Janet herself was moulded to suit their ideas and prejudices , we see her fight back.
