WILD GEESE

Clara Harte is perfect as she narrates this beautifully written timely novel about connections, transitions, and authenticity. Phoebe Ford is starting a new life as a trans woman in Copenhagen. Originally from Ireland, she is reinventing herself but leads a relatively solitary life. Harte infuses Phoebe with wit, humor, and compassion in this story told over a long weekend. Phoebe is shocked when a knock at her door reveals her ex-girlfriend, Grace, who hasn't seen Phoebe as her authentic self. The two have unfinished business, and Harte captures the story's nostalgia, loss, and heartbreak with humor and understanding. Listeners will find themselves invested in this novel set against the social and political climates of Ireland and Denmark. K.S.M. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2023]
