About this listen

It was a peace offering, I knew that you don't appear on someone's doorstep uninvited, saying Alright unless you want to make amends.

It's been six years since Rosa last saw her brother. Six years since they last spoke. Six years since they last fought. Six years since she gave up on the idea of having a brother.

She's spent that time carefully not thinking about him. Not remembering their childhood. Not mentioning those stories, even to the people she loves.

Now the distance she had so carefully put between them has collapsed. Can she find a way to make peace—to forgive, to be forgiven—when the past she's worked so hard to contain threatens to spill over into the present?

From the acclaimed author of little scratch, this is a moving, powerfully honest novel about how we love, how we grieve and how we forgive.

This book, like Watson's first, employs non-standard prose layout so that a visual reader of the physical book encounters some uncertainty about the temporal sequence of words and is effectively given picture of and route into the narrator's head where thoughts swirl around. In fact, most readers' eyes dot around on a page too so the technique is not as difficult as it might at first sound to read. The author, reading it on the audio, is forced to give a temporally linear rendering that cannot really translate the effect one gets from reading it visually. Nonetheless, what one gets instead is her sonic rendering of that interiority, which is good in its own way.

This said, the author is more completely in the group of British English RP speakers who now no longer pronounce the ks or x sound that is represented by -cc- than others of her age. This means that the word 'accept' sounds like 'assept' (I kept thinking 'aseptic'?) and 'accelerate comes out as 'asselerate'. This taking out the ax-sound and putting in the ass-sound is a change that has been coming for a while (it started with 'flaccid' which people have pronounced as 'flassid' for at least 50 years despite OED listing 'flaxid' as the proper pronunciation). If this annoys you, you will be annoyed. But overall, this is a good reading of the author's book by the author.
