GREENWICH

Narrator Imani Jade Powers shines in this compelling debut novel. Set in the summer of 1999, the story focuses on Rachel Fiske, a recent high school graduate. After friend and family drama, Rachel is sent to Greenwich, Connecticut, to spend the summer with her wealthy aunt and uncle and their young daughter. Powers captures Rachel's thoughts--her fears, immaturity, and insecurities, along with her feeling of hope when she connects with Claudia, the family's nanny. The pacing of the narration reflects Rachel's experiences over the summer, which lead up to a tragedy that changes everything. Listeners will be invested from the beginning as the novel explores privilege, family, and identity. K.S.M. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2025]
