À propos de cet audio

 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A WASHINGTON POST BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR • A teenage girl breaks free from her father’s world of isolation to discover that her whole life is a lie in this “absorbing and well-crafted” (The Washington Post) novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Pretty Things and Watch Me Disappear.

“A mesmerizing blend of coming-of-age and psychological suspense, set against the birth of the internet age.”—People

The first thing you have to understand is that my father was my entire world.

Growing up in an isolated cabin in Montana in the mid-1990s, Jane knows only the world that she and her father live in: the woodstove that heats their home, the vegetable garden where they try to eke out a subsistence, the books of nineteenth-century philosophy that her father gives her to read in lieu of going to school. Her father is elusive about their pasts, giving Jane little beyond the facts that they once lived in the Bay Area and that her mother died in a car accident, the crash propelling him to move Jane off the grid to raise her in a Waldenesque utopia.

As Jane becomes a teenager she starts pushing against the boundaries of her restricted world. She begs to accompany her father on his occasional trips away from the cabin. But when Jane realizes that her devotion to her father has made her an accomplice to a horrific crime, she flees Montana to the only place she knows to look for answers about her mysterious past, and her mother’s death: San Francisco. It is a city in the midst of a seismic change, where her quest to understand herself will force her to reckon with both the possibilities and the perils of the fledgling internet, and where she will come to question everything she values.

In this sweeping, suspenseful novel from bestselling author Janelle Brown, we see a young woman on a quest to understand how we come to know ourselves. It is a bold and unforgettable story about parents and children; nature and technology; innocence and knowledge; the losses of our past and our dreams for the future.

Editorial Review

Paradise lost ... and found
Janelle Brown writes the books that keep me up at night, meaning I’m fighting off sleep so that I can keep listening. Her twisty narratives, including her 2020 breakout hit Pretty Things and 2022’s I’ll Be You, are rife with themes of identity, family trauma, and moral dilemmas. In What Kind of Paradise, Jane is not like her tech-obsessed peers. Living in an isolated Montana cabin with her enigmatic father, the shadows of her family’s mysterious history loom large until a shocking event catapults Jane into newfound independence and she sets out to discover the truth of who she really is. Helen Laser narrates, and Peter Ganim’s short but impactful performance as Jane’s dad gives voice to the man behind the monster. This nostalgic coming-of-age exploration of father-daughter relationships, young love, and the ’90s dot-com bubble further solidifies Brown as an auto-download author for me. —Margaret H., Audible Editor

This could’ve been so much better if it had a faster pace, less wordy. Solid storyline, but slow moving. Not my favourite of Janelle’s work.

Intriguing story line

Give Janelle Brown’s What Kind of Paradise ALL the stars in the galaxy! It has everything: coming of age, a fast-paced plot, layered characters, was a timely tale (think, A.I. vs humans), mental illness, familial loyalty, first love, friendship, and… the 90s! That might seem like a lot of things to pack into one novel, but it absolutely works.

Janelle Brown is such a talented writer. I can’t even begin to fathom how she managed to weave all the bits and pieces (or in this case, bits and bytes) into this amazing story tapestry.

You know how The Shawshank Redemption has one of the best movie endings ever? The sort of finale that leaves your heart feeling like it’s been healed in some way? Right? Well, this novel’s ending has the same effect, or at least, it did for me.

The performances by narrators Helen Laser and Peter Ganim are absolutely flawless.

Honestly, read or listen to the book. That is all.

Adding to my Favourites!

I tried to carve out as many opportunities as possible to sequester myself with this audiobook. The plotting has a few flaws, but it was so captivating that I couldn't justify awarding less than five stars. Excellent narration.

So captivating!
