We Live Here Now

A Novel

By: Sarah Pinborough

Narrated by: Helen Baxendale, Jamie Glover, Sarah Pinborough

Award-winning author of New York Times bestselling breakout novel (and hit Netflix show) Behind Her Eyes returns with a haunting Gothic novel about a house—and a marriage—gone terribly wrong.

After an accident that nearly kills her, Emily and her husband, Freddie, move from London to a beautiful Dartmoor country house called Larkin Lodge. The house is gorgeous, striking—and to Emily, something about it feels deeply wrong.

Old boards creak at night, fires go out, and books fall from the shelves, and all of it stems from the terrible presence she feels in the third-floor room. But these things happen only when Emily’s alone, so are they happening at all? She’s still medically fragile; her postsepsis condition can cause hallucinatory side effects, which means she can’t fully trust her own senses. Freddie doesn’t notice anything odd and is happy with their chance at a fresh start.

Emily, however, starts to believe that the house is being haunted by someone who was murdered in it, though she can find no evidence of a wrongful death. As bizarre events pile up and her marriage starts to crumble, Emily becomes obsessed with discovering the truth about Larkin Lodge.

But if the house has secrets, so do Emily and her husband.

And they live here now.

This program features multicast narration, including by actors Jamie Glover (The Crown) and Helen Baxendale (Friends).

Excellent listen

This domestic thriller has characters and storylines that draw you in within the first chapter. It keeps you thinking and trying to figure out what is going on. What is going on? Get the audiobook to find out!

Great narration, All the narrators played their parts with feeling and in natural cadence. The narration can either make or break a book for me, so I try to include this information in my reviews.

Amount of deception

How they got back at each other after the "Killings', especially Emma and Freddie at the end

Don’t understand the hipe in the coments

Emely sometime felt like they were two people making her voice. Couldn’t catch the story line had to restart the book multiple times. The story seam slow at times. Ending uncertain 🤷🏻‍♀️
