À propos de cet audio

 The New York Times bestselling author of The Art Forger delivers a spellbinding and moving novel about what we hang on to, what we might need to let go, and how unexpected events can lead us to deeper truths.

Six people, six secrets, six different backgrounds. They would never have met if not for their connection to the Metropolis Storage Warehouse in Cambridge, Massachusetts. When someone falls down an elevator shaft at the facility, each becomes caught up in an intensifying chain of events.

We meet Serge, an unstable but brilliant street photographer who lives in his storage unit, which overflows with thousands of undeveloped pictures; Marta, an undocumented immigrant finishing her dissertation and hiding from ICE; Liddy, an abused wife and mother, who recreates her children’s bedroom in her unit; Jason, a former corporate lawyer now practicing in the facility; Rose, the office manager, who takes illegal kickbacks to let renters live in the building; and Zach, the building’s owner and an ex-drug dealer, who scans Serge’s photos as he searches for clues to the accident.

But was it an accident? A murder attempt? Suicide? As her characters dip in and out of one another’s lives trying to find answers and battling societal forces beyond their control, B. A. Shapiro both questions the myth of the American dream and builds tension to an exhilarating climax. Taut and emotional, Metropolis is impossible to put down and impossible to forget.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“An ingeniously plotted hybrid social/suspense novel . . . [Shapiro] takes her time loading the bases, and in the last inning, she hits it out of the park.”
—Shelf Awareness

“Metropolis has all the elements I love in a novel: fascinating characters, a pace that crackles with tension, and a deeper message that will resonate with everyone. Once again, B. A. Shapiro weaves a unique and riveting tale.”
—Tess Gerritsen, New York Times bestselling author of I Know a Secret

“A rich and gripping journey through intersecting lives, a nuanced exploration of characters who share nothing in common—but almost everything too. Inventive and immersive, it’s a page-turner of novel that will also make you want to slow down and soak it all in.”
—Lou Berney, Edgar Award-winning author of November Road

“In Metropolis, Shapiro is the literary equivalent of a master juggler, writing with tremendous compassion and a wonderful knack for storytelling. Her characters whirl together within the confines of a self-storage unit and, though at its core is a mystery, its beating heart is their stories. It is a dazzling performance and a novel that will stay with me for a long time to come.”
—Mary Morris, author of Gateway to the Moon

“Part mystery, part sociological study… fascinating.”
—Minneapolis Star Tribune

“Skillfully crafted with memorable characters, Metropolis is a riveting psychological thriller of a read from cover to cover. Raising crime fiction to an impressively high literary level…”
—Midwest Book Review

A “spellbinder from the bestselling author of The Art Forger and The Muralist.”
—Booklist

I heard about Metropolis from a colleague who found it at the library. I added it to my TBR list, unsure if I would enjoy a book about people all connected by a storage facility — but this novel turned out to be so much more.

It is a polyphonic novel (a style I tend to enjoy), and the multicast audiobook recording enhanced the experience of moving between voices.

The story follows six very different characters whose lives intersect at the Metropolis Storage Warehouse in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Among them is Serge, a homeless street photographer living in his storage unit; Marta, an undocumented graduate student hiding from ICE; Liddy, fleeing an abusive marriage; Jason, a once-successful lawyer; Rose, the building’s sharp-eyed manager; and Zach, the landlord trying to keep everything afloat. Their individual stories gradually weave together, especially after a mysterious fall inside the building raises questions of accident, crime, and responsibility.

Though the plot is complex, moving between timelines, secrets, and perspectives, Shapiro holds the threads tightly. And each story being narrated by a different voice helped me connect to the story. By the end, I found myself not only invested in each character but also reflecting on how class, privilege, and survival shape the fragile connections between us.
