THE NEW NATURALS

Robin Miles brings to life this compelling and thought-provoking novel about grief, connection, and hope. After the loss of their infant, a college professor named Rio and her husband, Gibraltar, decide to create a safe haven in Massachusetts. They build an underground sanctuary for those who are finding it impossible to deal with today's frightening and ever-changing world. Miles's delivery perfectly matches the stream-of-consciousness style of Bump's writing. She also creates effective distinctions among the wide range of multidimensional characters who find their way to Rio's utopia. Ultimately, the audiobook asks timely questions about society, survival, and belonging. K.S.M. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2024]
