À propos de cet audio
“This is a novel of great empathy, about connections and coming-of-age, built families and self-acceptance. It contains heartbreak and redemption, and a plucky, irresistible protagonist…[A] propulsive, empathetic novel.” —Shelf Awareness
Little River, New York, 1994: April Sawicki is living in a motorless motorhome that her father won in a poker game. Failing out of school, picking up shifts at a local diner, she’s left fending for herself in a town where she’s never quite felt at home. When she “borrows” her neighbor’s car to perform at an open mic night, she realizes her life could be much bigger than where she came from. After a fight with her dad, April packs her stuff and leaves for good, setting off on a journey to find a life that’s all hers.
Driving without a chosen destination, she stops to rest in Ithaca. Her only plan is to survive, but as she looks for work, she finds a kindred sense of belonging at Cafe Decadence, the local coffee shop. Still, somehow, it doesn’t make sense to her that life could be this easy. The more she falls in love with her friends in Ithaca, the more she can’t shake the feeling that she’ll hurt them the way she’s been hurt. As April moves through the world, meeting people who feel like home, she chronicles her life in the songs she writes and discovers that where she came from doesn’t dictate who she has to be.
This lyrical, luminous tale “is both a profound love letter to creative resilience and a reminder that sometimes even tragedy can be a kind of blessing” (Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author).

On the surface, Denny Voss’s life in rural Minnesota is a quiet one. At thirty years old, he lives at home with his elderly mother and his beloved blind and deaf Saint Bernard, George. He cleans up roadkill to help pay the bills. Though his prospects are limited by a developmental delay—the result of an accident at birth—Denny has always felt that he has “a good life.” So how did he wind up being charged with the murder of a mayoral candidate—after crashing a sled full of guns into a tree?

And Mary’s left to wonder why she abandoned her career ambitions when loneliness is all she has to show for it. Plus her teeth really, really hurt. But that’s one problem she can fix—never mind the stories that say if she gets her wisdom teeth removed, the last thirty years of her life will be erased.

Modern Fairy Tale

I wouldn't call it revolutionary, and it didn't entirely blow my socks off, but I listened to it via audiobook and, as soon as I started it, I kept looking for excuses to be alone with my speakers or headphones, because I wanted to know what happened next. In fact, it lived rent-free in my brain to the point that I couldn't concentrate on reading any other books, so my physical reads went on hold.
I know this story will stay with me for a long time, and I'm very happy to have listened to it narrated by Julia Whelan, who added an extra layer of excellence to the whole experience!
Overall, I highly recommend this book if you like historical fiction, with some romance peppered in. Just know that, despite romantic relationships being a main recurring subject, this is not a romance novel. And you won't always like the romance aspect of it, either.
Trigger warnings: childhood trauma, child abandonment, SA, PTSD, food and home insecurity.
Heartbreaking, yet ultimately wholesome :)
