À propos de cet audio

"Narrator Kirt Groves provides an excellently distinct cast of voices."- Locus

A Man Called Ove meets The Good Place in Under the Whispering Door, a delightful queer love story from TJ Klune, author of the New York Times and USA Today bestseller The House in the Cerulean Sea.

Welcome to Charon's Crossing.

The tea is hot, the scones are fresh, and the dead are just passing through.

When a reaper comes to collect Wallace from his own funeral, Wallace begins to suspect he might be dead.

And when Hugo, the owner of a peculiar tea shop, promises to help him cross over, Wallace decides he’s definitely dead.

But even in death he’s not ready to abandon the life he barely lived, so when Wallace is given one week to cross over, he sets about living a lifetime in seven days.

Hilarious, haunting, and kind, Under the Whispering Door is an uplifting story about a life spent at the office and a death spent building a home.

"Graves matches his narrative pace to the measured unwinding of the story's layers, focused but unhurried, in the same way that Hugo brews his therapeutic cups of tea." —AudioFile

Ce que les critiques en disent

A NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY AND INDIE BESTSELLER
An Indie Next Pick!

“There is so much to enjoy in Under the Whispering Door, but what I cherish the most is its compassion for the little things — a touch, a glance, a precious piece of dialogue — healing me, telling me that for all the strangenesses I hold, I am valued, valid — and maybe even worthy of love.” (Ryka Aoki, Light from Uncommon Stars)

"Narrator Kirt Groves provides an excellently distinct cast of voices."- Locus

"A warm hug of a book about a Grinch of a man who dies and a ferryman, who helps the dead in their journey onwards. Under the Whispering Door is a kind book, full of faith in the goodness of people, full of kind people showing how compassion is a strength. It broke my heart with its unflinching understanding that grief never goes away, never empties, only settles into the room of your soul like a strange souvenir. And then it healed me in the next breath.” —Cassandra Khaw, author of Nothing But Blackened Teeth

I am a big fan of this author and was awaiting this new release. I loved his last trilogy with the funny characters ,laugh out loud antics of the unicorn and the dragon ect. but this was a very profound book about life and death and the choices you make along the way. It made me laugh and weep. loved it!

wonderful

Imaginative. The story as good. I wish I had read he book rather than listened to it because I found the reader too mellow dramatic for me. I would have heard the characters’ voices differently if I had read it.

Not really for me but lots of reasons to recommend

Loved this story, perfect narration. Kicked me in the feelings, but left me feeling hopeful, and wanting to appreciate the small things.

Beautiful, heartbreaking, hopeful

Made me cry a lot, at many different times, in the best way possible. I'm not sure "lawyer" was the best choice of former occupation for Wallace but it's fine, I mostly ignored that.

Lovely

A unique story that talks about life and what comes after. The story starts off strong. Developing the main character Wallace and his journey. There are some slow part during the beginning but it really picks up. If you enjoyed house by the cerulean sea then you will thrilled with this.

The author also steals the show. The way he does character voices is great and he sounds like a mixture of Justin Roiland (Rick and Morty) and Max Greenfield (New Girl).

A good blend of fantasy and reality

This story has some very heavy moments that will have your heart feeling heavy but they are so beautiful it's hard to feel anything but amazed at how well it's written. it has a great deal of humor and oh by god did I cry ...I cried and cried and cried . I don't even have the right words to express how much of an amazing listen this is if you run across it you have to hit play trust me you'll love it. ❤️

This book is curiosity and imagination at its best. I fell in love with every character. A beautiful perspective on life and what comes next. Do yourself a favour and read this. I even bought a paper copy after!

Absolutely adored this

Being queer makes you feel like a ghost at times. You are shoved away from a life you are told is meant for you. Into a world that can seem frightening. In my case, I was always told it would be hell. But as Wallace finds out, family is not blood. Home is not a house. And if the living world - the world you had to leave - has you feeling as though pieces of yourself are disappearing? Perhaps it was never meant for you at all.

Queerness and ghost stories go hand in hand. We are one in the same. Beings who live in secret, who cannot touch the ones they love no matter how much they ache for it. Existing in quiet, with stories written of how dangerous we are. But TJ Klune is sure to show that there is always light at the end of the tunnel. That we are here to do more than haunt the shadows. Even if you are afraid, even if you are just passing through. You are not alone. You will always find someone to share a cup of tea with.
