À propos de cet audio
An exuberant, bighearted novel about two teenage misfits who spectacularly collide one fateful summer, and the art they make that changes their lives forever
Sixteen-year-old Frankie Budge—aspiring writer, indifferent student, offbeat loner—is determined to make it through yet another summer in Coalfield, Tennessee, when she meets Zeke, a talented artist who has just moved into his grandmother’s house and who is as awkward as Frankie is. Romantic and creative sparks begin to fly, and when the two jointly make an unsigned poster, shot through with an enigmatic phrase, it becomes unforgettable to anyone who sees it. The edge is a shantytown filled with gold seekers. We are fugitives, and the law is skinny with hunger for us.
The posters begin appearing everywhere, and people wonder who is behind them and start to panic. Satanists, kidnappers—the rumors won’t stop, and soon the mystery has dangerous repercussions that spread far beyond the town.
Twenty years later, Frances Eleanor Budge gets a call that threatens to upend her carefully built life: a journalist named Mazzy Brower is writing a story about the Coalfield Panic of 1996. Might Frances know something about that?
A bold coming-of-age story, written with Kevin Wilson’s trademark wit and blazing prose, Now Is Not the Time to Panic is a nuanced exploration of young love, identity, and the power of art. It’s also about the secrets that haunt us—and, ultimately, what the truth will set free.

Kevin Wilson is currently my favourite author. This is his best work yet. If you read only one of his works read this one but theybare all fabulous. His characters are so amazing in. The key line of the novel is running through my mind constantly. Brilliant.

Not as good as I’d heard
There's been a lot of talk in my online book groups about Now Is Not the Time to Panic, so I was looking forward to it. I'm not sure what I was expecting but if it weren't for Ginnifer Goodwin’s skill as a narrator, I don't think I would have bothered to finish it.
My main issue is with the character of the protagonist, Frankie. From the outset of her adventures with Zeke, I found it impossible to relate to her motivation. It didn't ring true. There seemed to be no explanation for the exaggerated level of her obsession. The deeper it became, the less I could relate to her. At the same time, there is no plausible explanation for Zeke’s willingness to accept and support Frankie’s obsession regardless of the consequences. Bottom line, neither character was believable, and if you can't invest in them the story becomes pointless.
