Rebecca Lowman’s narration, with her warm but uncertain voice, pulls listeners in to Manguso’s debut novel and helps negotiate Ruthie’s chaotic life. She uses pauses and speed to bring authenticity to this character’s story so that listeners feel as if a friend is telling them closely guarded secrets.
This moving, powerful tribute to love and loss is a must-listen. Suggest to listeners who appreciated Paul Kalanithi’s When Breath Becomes Air and Ann Patchett’s Truth and Beauty.
Readers of historical fiction and lovers of art history and the architecture of New York City will enjoy this entertaining audiobook. Suggest to fans of Marie Benedict, Victoria Christopher Murray, Kate Quinn, and Liz Trenow.
The audiobook is long, but Griffith’s excellent performance, Hongo’s brilliant prose, and the incredible depth and breadth of topics discussed make for a delightful listening experience.
Listeners will need to suspend their disbelief at times, but it’s worth it for the laughs. Will leave them eagerly awaiting Sutanto’s third “Aunties” installment.
