The story and superb acting reeled in this listener and grabbed my attention. I listened to it all at once and cried a little at the end. Yes, the episodes are short, but incredibly compelling. The premise is fascinating and Rosamund Pike makes a complicated character sympathetic. All the other actors bring to life a tragic but in the end, a satisfying conclusion.
jujubean1958 · Oct 2023
This is a brilliant dramatization of a unique story as we follow the protagonist who uses 9/11 as a way to disappear from a few unhappy life and marriage. The sequencing of the story really engages the listener inviting you to put the pieces of the story together like a puzzle. This story is so well told and acted. It doesn’t spoon feed you - makes you work to understand but the “ah ha” moments are satisfying. Loved it!
Skydog777 · Jul 2023
Bizarre story, told in the most confusing way. I’m hooked on the mystery of it all but annoyed I didn’t discover this AFTER all the episodes came out. Great voice acting, great sound design, episodes are way too short. Ending was abrupt.
j_a_x_ · Jul 2023
The story is intriguing and the acting so well done that it completely captivated me. I didn’t know what would happen next and was very impressed by the writing and character development. Very unique. Loved it.
phylliebee · Jul 2023
The story isn’t great but isn’t terrible. But the fact they stretched this story out over 9 episodes is ridiculous. With the number of ads and then the ending acknowledgments in every episode, each one is maybe only 10 mins worth of storyline.
The ending left something to be desired but not in a good way.
c6298375 · Jul 2023
Great voice acting, but there are plot holes (e.g. how does she get a job and rent an apartment without identification) and predictability in the ending. Agree with others about the super short episodes.
