FLAT EARTH

This provocative debut audiobook about the lives of two women is enhanced by the pitch-perfect narration of Ellie Gossage. Avery, a 20-something graduate student living in New York City, turns to sex work to finance her education. Her decision is supported by her wealthy best friend, Frances, who drops out of school to marry and later becomes a successful filmmaker. Gossage employs a detached tone to powerful effect in conveying Avery's many disturbing encounters as she struggles to find her footing with little emotional support. Gossage brings forth the story's disturbing exploration of the patriarchy's view of women, one that revolves around their youth, reproductive potential, and homemaking capacities. While this audiobook is light on plot, it will leave listeners with plenty to ponder. M.J. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2025]
