About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

For thirty-five year old Charlotte Emory, leaving her husband seems to offer the only way out from the mundaneness of every day life's earthly possessions and emotional complications. In the bank, she withdraws enough money to escape a life and a marriage gone sour. But Charlotte is about to escape in a way she never expected, as a young bank robber takes her hostage, and they head south for Florida in a stolen car.

Critic reviews

My favourite writer, and the best line-and-length novelist in the world, is Anne Tyler... Brilliant, funny, sad and sensitive (Nick Hornby)

All stars
Most relevant
the sound quality is very tinny and the story and characters didn't engage me at all

my least favourite Anne Tyler so far
