About this listen
Shortlisted for the 2017 Man Booker Prize
Even a lone wolf wants to belong....
Fourteen-year-old Linda lives with her parents in an ex-commune beside a lake in the beautiful, austere backwoods of Northern Minnesota. The other girls at school call Linda 'Freak' or 'Commie'. Her parents mostly leave her to her own devices whilst the other inhabitants have grown up and moved on.
So when the perfect family - mother, father and their little boy, Paul - move into the cabin across the lake, Linda insinuates her way into the family's orbit. She begins to babysit Paul and feels that she finally has a place to belong. But something isn't right. Drawn into secrets she doesn't understand, Linda must make a choice. But how can a girl with no real knowledge of the world understand what the consequences will be?

not my usual read
An intriguing story, but hard for me to really get into as i couldn't relate to any of the characters.
I felt as though most of the story was made up of observations of the miniscule details of life. Whilst these observations were very evocative of the mundane, I felt like I spent most of the book wondering when it was going to tell me something of value to the larger story.

I made my way through by sheer determination. The narrator fell into a cadence that seldom matched the text. At times, I had to repeat in my head what I had just heard in order to try and frame it correctly. Consequently, I doubt I could tell you if the story itself has much merit.
