About this listen

Hear why The New York Times Book Review called Cander “a smart, deft storyteller”.

Eloise hasn't quite figured out how to move on after the death of her son, Eddie. She makes good money, buys a new apartment, learns the piano, engages in an office flirtation, but nothing seems to brighten her days quite like the occasional letter from one of her accounting clients, Ed B. When, after months of correspondence, Ed invites Eloise to his country home for a visit, she finds herself overwhelmed by the "Eddies" of her life - the one she lost, the one she writes to, and the one she's eternally searching for.

"A powerful storyteller." (Lone Star Literary)

Even though it ended like it did, this title had me gripped. When I first listened to chapter one starting,I was unsure but I became so engrossed in the tale. Felt sorry for her with the sex chapter how a man used her like he did but it was such a mix of the tale througjout. Really really gutted it ended like it did, wanted it to carry on with another chapter. Worth the listen and worth more than 5 stars xxxxx. 😀

What a lovely engrossed listen for a short story,

Three quarters of the way through this story I started bawling my eyes out, which is always a great bellwether for how effective and impactful a short story is. There's just something so beautiful in the incredibly human and visceral desolate bleakness and moving in the potential for hope.

This one really came out of nowhere and knocked me for six. I absolutely need to read more from this author.

The performance by Gabra Zackman is perfect.

Honestly, listening to this has made paradoxically made my day from just how sad and emotional it made me.

Unbelievably Moving
