Dellarobia Turnbow is a restless farm wife who gave up her own plans when she accidentally became pregnant at 17. Now, after a decade of domestic disharmony on a failing farm, she encounters a shocking sight: a silent, forested valley filled with what looks like a lake of fire. She can only understand it as a cautionary miracle, but it sparks a raft of other explanations from scientists, religious leaders, and the media.

When a con man steals his houseful of possessions in a sophisticated moving-day scam, Peke wanders helplessly through his empty New England home, inevitably reminded of another helpless time: decades in Peke’s past, a cold and threadbare Stanislaw Shmuel Pecoskowitz eked out a desperate existence in the war-torn Polish countryside, subsisting on scraps, dodging Nazi soldiers.

Editorial reviews
Publisher's summary
Huddled beneath the volcanoes of the Kirishima mountain range in southern Japan - also called the Fog Island Mountains - the inhabitants of small town Komachi are waiting for the biggest of the summer’s typhoons. South African expatriate Alec Chester has lived in Komachi for nearly 40 years. Alec considers himself an ordinary man, with common troubles and mundane achievements - until his doctor gives him a terminal cancer diagnosis and his wife, Kanae, disappears into the gathering storm. Kanae flees from the terrifying reality of Alec’s diagnosis, even going so far as to tell a childhood friend that she is already a widow. Her willful avoidance of the truth leads her to commit a grave infidelity, and only when Alec is suspected of checking himself out of the hospital to commit a quiet suicide, does Kanae come home to face what it will mean to lose her husband.
Narrated by one of the town's oldest and most peculiar inhabitants, this haunting and beautiful audio reinterpretation of the Japanese kitsune folktale tradition (also available in print, eBook, and unabridged audio CD) is about the dangers of actions taken in grief, and an exploration of storytelling as a form of healing.

Story
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Story
They said write what you know so that's what I did. I wrote dirty, I wrote erotic, I wrote the truth. And then they called me a liar. But it's not me who's lying, it's them. Our story isn't for everyone. It's not even for us. So if you're looking for the fairy tale and the stupid prince on his dumb white horse, move along. You've got a hold of the wrong book. This is not your story, this is not your life, and this is not your opportunity to dip your frightened little toe into the dark pool of water and "try new things" and then pull it out and decide... #NotForMe.

Story
Renowned as much for her wit and satirical social commentary as for her stories of love and romance, Jane Austen remains unfailingly relevant and one of Britain’s best loved authors. In this Audible Original collection, an all-star list of narrators (Billie Piper, Claire Foy, Emma Thompson, Florence Pugh and Gugu Mbatha-Raw) capture Austen’s pin-sharp humour and tone in these dramatisations of her six beloved novels accompanied by a full cast.

Story
It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

Confusing as an audio book
Beautifully narrated but too hard to follow as an audio book. Switches between lots of characters with no warning

Nothing to grab onto
I can't understand what the author thought would grab my attention and hold it. Everything in the story is "pending." Yes, I understand the symbolism of the gathering storm, but this one is gathering at a somnolent pace. I don't have the patience for it. I am only about 2 hours in (although that is about 1/3 of the way through) and I am annoyed with every character and baffled by anyone's motives.
This is compounded by the breathless monotone that is the narration (although I'll give her full marks for her accents.)
Unfortunately, Kanae's behavior is simply inexplicable (why is she behaving like that?) and so predictable (she is going to cheat on her dying husband, isn't she?) that I can't stand to listen to the absolutely endless buildup to whatever critical denouement is heading our way.
I'm stopping this one and giving the book back to Audible.

Disappointing.
Pretentious. Tried to be profound, even mythic, but ended up only being excruciatingly sentimental. Had hoped for so much more from the fox storyline. The narrator was infuriating: she spoke every sentence with a sort of "sad face, deeply sensitive" voice, as if every phrase had to be tragic or aesthetically moving. Enough is enough already.

Disappointing.
This was a good story. A lot of detail, but lacked well thought out characters. I found myself wondering why the author spent time mentioning characters that were then never fleshed out.

A Personal Pick
Chris Doheny – one of my closest friends and favorite colleagues – passed away in 2013 due to complications from cystic fibrosis. We spent a lot of our time together talking about books, so I was honored to be a judge – along with Audible’s publisher and the authors Ann Hood and Dani Shapiro – for the first literary prize awarded in his name. With its atmospheric storytelling and haunting look at the realities (and different reactions) a terminal illness brings, Fog Island Mountains was our unanimous choice for the prize. I have no doubt that Chris – who counted Haruki Murakami, Kurt Vonnegut, and David Mitchell among his favorite authors – would be proud of this selection.

Not a traditional plot.
The culture was richly described. The plot failed to capture me. The story had no resolution.

Nonsense
What disappointed you about Fog Island Mountains?
The book started slow an slowed down from there. Bailed out after two hours.
What could Michelle Bailat-Jones have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Connected something in the first two hours.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Jennifer Ikeda?
Chewy could do it.
Any additional comments?
The book did not have a hook you could grab on to. It was so boring, my mind drifted. I should return this.... I wonder if I can...

Boring
This was a boring story. I kept waiting for a plot and some connection to the characters, it was a waste of my time.
