À propos de cet audio
While on vacation on an idyllic island called Miden, a seemingly aimless woman meets an attractive man and leaves her country to be with him. A few months later, newly pregnant and just beginning to feel comfortable in her lover's space, her life is upended when a girl arrives at the door.
Slight and pretty, the girl discloses a drawn out and violent affair she's had with her professor, the father of the woman's unborn child. In alternating perspectives, the professor and his girlfriend reflect upon their lives, each other, and their interloper. As the community gathers testimony and considers the case, the couple is forced to confront their own paranoia, fetishes, and transgressions in light of the student's accusations.
Provocative and unnerving, The Girl at the Door explores the bureaucracy of a scandal, and the thin line between lust and possession. In an age in which blunt power and fickle nuance take turns upon the stage, Raimo has delivered an intoxicating exploration of the politics and power of sex.
©2018 Veronica Raimo (P)2019 HighBridge, a division of Recorded BooksThe story, despite being called feminist by Jezebel, is quite misogynistic and victim blaming. It felt like an erotic novel about rape. Sex was used to shock the audience but never develop character and so, in the end, the characters came across as 2 dimensional and despicable. The plot was thin and predictable. Avoid this book and find a better one to read.
