Audiobook Summary-

The Green Mile is a strong supernatural drama, well-blended with the themes of justice, compassion, and mystery, which make it one of the most emotionally gripping Stephen King novels. Set in a Southern prison in the 1930s, the novel is narrated by Paul Edgecombe, a death row captain at Cold Mountain Penitentiary. His life is altered when John Coffey, a physically powerful but kind Black man, is brought in having been convicted of the savage killing of two little girls. Though he has a frightening appearance, Coffey exhibits extraordinary healing abilities and an intensely sensitive nature. As things start to become more bizarre, Paul and his other guards come to suspect that Coffey is possibly innocent of the crime for which he sits in prison, waiting to be executed. The story shifts back and forth from the past and present as the older Paul recounts the ethical conflict and personal sacrifices of serving on "the Green Mile," as the nickname goes, because it has a lime-green floor. With tragedy and otherworldly intrigue, The Green Mile delves into the brutality of capital punishment, the strength of human compassion, and the existence of miracles in the unlikeliest of places. It's a haunting, profoundly emotional novel that haunts long after the last page.
