About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Do Not Become Alarmed, written and read by Maile Meloy.

When Liv and Nora decide to take their husbands and children on a holiday cruise, everyone is thrilled. The ship's comforts and possibilities seem infinite. But when they all go ashore in beautiful Central America, a series of minor mishaps lead the families further from the ship's safety.

One minute the children are there, and the next they're gone.

What follows is a heart-racing story told from the perspectives of the adults and the children, as the distraught parents - now turning on one another and blaming themselves - try to recover their children and their shattered lives.

Unlistenable

Why oh why did they let the author narrate her own audiobook. The story itself is good, and I recommend reading the book BUT this audiobook was painful to listen to. The author has a very pronounced speech impediment and is utterly incapable of doing accents. Any accent. Her lack of intenation while reading made the most harrowing parts of the story seem unreal because she just slipped into them in her monotone lisp and you weren’t sure they were actually happening. No idea who signed off on this one! Definitely read the book instead

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

In the spirit of reconciliation, Audible acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
