About this listen

Tiger's life changed with a simple phone call. Her mother has died. That's when darkness descended on her otherwise average life.

Tiger's mother never talked about her father, and with no grandparents or aunts or uncles, her world is packed into a suitcase and moved to a foster home. And another. And another. Until hope surfaces in the shape of.. a sister?

Sometimes family comes in forms you don't recognise. But can Tiger learn to make friends with the darkness before it swallows her whole?

Critic reviews

'In this raw, powerful, and heartbreaking meditation on loss and grief, Glasgow writes with unflinching beauty. We meet Tiger Tolliver at her most broken – at her darkest moment – and yet, somehow, [she] teaches us how to let the light in.' (Julie Buxbaum, New York Times bestselling author of Tell Me Three Things)

‘A rare and powerful novel...dives deep into the heart of grief and healing with honesty, empathy, and grace.’ (Karen McManus)

I loved everything and the plot is great. The nerroruyors voice is so calming and great to listen to at night

Incredible

just like ‘girl in pieces’ and ‘you’d be home now’ by Kathleen this story again doesn’t hide or sugarcoat the feelings of grief and depression. It feels real and honest and is beautifully written:)

beautiful and real

I loved the book version of this but audiobook version was ruined by narrator. She had the worst nasally voice I’ve ever heard, it was all I could concentrate on. If you sound like you’re talking with a peg on your nose, maybe wait until your cold/flu has passed before recording an audiobook?? What is it with audible and choosing terrible narrators

Narrator ruined it for me
