About this listen
"With delicate intimacy, author Rebecca Serle narrates a story that involves a surrealist dinner party and reflections on a decade of love and heartache.... Magic and emotive undertones make this audiobook bewitching." (AudioFile Magazine)
This program is read by the author.
“We’ve been waiting for an hour.” That’s what Audrey says. She states it with a little bit of an edge, her words just bordering on cursive. That’s the thing I think first. Not: Audrey Hepburn is at my birthday dinner, but Audrey Hepburn is annoyed.
At one point or another, we’ve all been asked to name five people, living or dead, with whom we’d like to have dinner. Why do we choose the people we do? And what if that dinner was to actually happen? These are the questions Rebecca Serle contends with in her utterly captivating audiobook, The Dinner List.
When Sabrina arrives at her 30th birthday dinner she finds at the table not just her best friend, but also three significant people from her past, and, well, Audrey Hepburn. As the appetizers are served, wine poured, and dinner table conversation begins, it becomes clear that there’s a reason these six people have been gathered together.
Delicious but never indulgent, sweet with just the right amount of bitter, The Dinner List is a romance for our times. Bon appetit.
Praise for The Dinner List:
“It’s Serle’s unflinching investigation into the triumph and failings of love that makes this book one of a kind. A touch magic, a touch tragic, and absolutely compelling from beginning to end.” (Stephanie Danler, New York Times best-selling author of Sweetbitter)

Good story but needs a different narrator
You’d think the author as narrator would give some oomph to the story. Nope. It was as if she had never read it before. I recommend buying the paper copy because the story was nice. There is a reason why actors make good narrators - they understand inflection and tone.

Not worth buying
I couldn’t continue listening to this book. The narration is awful. Stopped at the 4th chapter.

Décevant
J'avais déjà écouté un autre livre de cette auteur. Mais c'était une autre personne qui fesait la narration. C'était le livre qui s'appelle Dans cinq ans. C'était vraiment incroyable. Un de mes livres préférés.
Pour ce livre je n'ai pas aimé et je viens tout juste de commencer. Ça aurait pu être tellement plus agréable comme expérience.
Je ne sais pas si je vais terminer l'écoute.
