This audiobook is a unique combination of women's fiction and Southern gothic, and narrator Jenn Lee's voice perfectly matches the creepy ambiance of this story. Green's novel relates the loosely connected life stories of several women with ties to a small town in eastern Louisiana. Lee's impassioned voice follows the women at different stages of their lives as she expresses their emotional states, exposes their vices and obsessions, and engulfs the listener in an atmosphere of gothic horror. The story includes familiar themes such as female bonding, family dynamics, and coming-of-age issues, yet there are also folkloric elements including shape-changers and apparitions. Lee creates a mood of nervousness and disquiet that permeates this unsettling novel. [Published: JANUARY 2026]
