Story4 out of 5 stars 10,763
When they met at an airport, it was love at first sight. But in time, everything collapsed. As an unnamed but unforgettable woman muses on her life—from meet cute to marriage and parenthood—her recollections inexorably build to a devastating truth. In this shattering performance, Carey Mulligan, star of the critically lauded drama An Education, captivates audiences with playwright Dennis Kelly’s harrowing ruminations on family, ambition, gender, and violence.

Reading much too fast
Reviewed: 09-27-18
The narration of this book was much too fast and therefore I could not listen past the first chapter. Narration is such an important part when the book is audible. The author would do well to pick very carefully. The voice tone, the speed, and the ability to read as if telling the story, rather than reading the story, is vital to its enjoyment for the listener. Thus thumbs down on this one.
