![]() I listen to lots of audiobooks and this one I will recommend to everyone! ![]() I’ll concede that there were some mispronounciations but not enough to really detract from the story. The timing is great, the characters are distinguishable without being obnoxious and there is just enough acting to make it really exciting. I listened to “Storm Front” before this one, and the reading of this audiobook is much more enjoyable than “Storm Front” because of Marsters’ enthusiastic performance. I have read all the Dresden books in print thus far, and while I enjoyed reading this book at the time, I felt much more “in” the story while listening to this production. He brought the characters to life without doing obnoxious falsetto voices for the female characters as so many other readers do.

One day she wakes up not as herself but, to her husband’s horror and confusion, as her mother - speaking and acting just as her mother would. The novel begins with Jiyoung having a dissociative episode. Upon its publication in South Korea in 2016, the book, which sold more than a million copies, had an “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” effect, propelling a feminist wave. This novel is about the banality of the evil that is systemic misogyny. But then, my experiences are ordinary, as ordinary as the everyday horrors suffered by the book’s protagonist, Jiyoung. The story of a young stay-at-home mother driven to a psychotic break, it laid bare my own Korean childhood - and, let’s face it, my Western adulthood too - forcing me to confront traumatic experiences that I’d tried to chalk up as nothing out of the ordinary.
