About this listen

"Little Surrenders" is a dark, mesmerizing short story about a marriage that’s reached its breaking point, and just how far a woman will go to reinvent herself after one too many compromises.

She makes a list; she’ll need it if she’s going to escape the life she’s built. A week’s worth of clothes. Seven thousands dollars in cash. A new identity. A gun, to be sure. Maybe the list itself will be enough to erase all of the little surrenders that have brought her to this place. After all, as she tells herself and her friends: Mike’s a great husband, and she loves him. If she can just find a way to hang on a little longer, maybe she can discover enough of herself to make those lies true again.

But with each step forward - from stashing the cash to obtaining a false identity to others she didn’t anticipate - she finds herself accelerating down a steep slope, surprised that she’s enjoying the fall and getting to know the stranger she may actually be.

I liked this short story a lot. I didn't have many expectations when reading the blurb but it was brilliantly narrated and the story itself was quite creepy. thank you audible

really clever and disturbing

Just wanted a quick listen and this sufficed nicely. These quick reads inbetween a long novel,are fab. Always get me jeered up for my next long title. Narrator was just so right for this take..........

And it's 3 stars for me.......

Well written and an engaging tale ! I was really disappointed that the author’s most recent book isn’t available as an Audiobook . Hopefully it will be before long.

Really enjoyed it !
