À propos de cet audio
A taut, psychological mind bender from the best-selling author of I’m Thinking of Ending Things.
We don’t get visitors. Not out here. We never have.
In Iain Reid’s second haunting, philosophical puzzle of a novel, set in the near future, Junior and Henrietta live a comfortable, solitary life on their farm, far from the city lights, but in close quarters with each other. One day, a stranger from the city arrives with alarming news: Junior has been randomly selected to travel far away from the farm...very far away. The most unusual part? Arrangements have already been made so that when he leaves, Henrietta won't have a chance to miss him, because she won't be left alone - not even for a moment. Henrietta will have company. Familiar company.
Told in Reid’s sharp and evocative style, Foe examines the nature of domestic relationships, self-determination, and what it means to be (or not to be) a person. An eerily entrancing pause-resister, it churns with unease and suspense from the first words to its shocking finale.

Stick with it until the end
I wasn't sure I could keep going with this book, it was odd and I didn't think it was very well written. BUT it was worth sticking it out until the end.

what is love, friendship, commitment?
it's a charming little slap in the face. it was like a black mirror episode. at times, cute, endearing. others, alarming, brutal. made me think of the quote, I'll paraphrase, "marry someone who loves you more."

Excellent but the text has things you miss
This is an excellent piece. I found out later that the printed text has clues and information the audio does not, but I was not disappointed just intrigued when I found out. I enjoyed the story and the reading of the story. I will look for more Reid in the future. I found that the plot was a bit predictable (which is why I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 for story), but that could just be because this is a genre I love.

Not my kind of story
I found this very slow. I listened to it mostly while driving, and found myself wishing I would arrive so I could turn it off. I would have quit it, but I’d promised a friend I’d read it.
The first turn off was the reader’s voice. I think the next time I encounter him, I’ll start with a print version, then see if I feel the same turn off to the recorded version.

Fire the editor
The story was bad enough but the constant redundancies were just irritating! Perhaps cutting out the redundancies and getting to the twist a lot sooner would have avoided me developing a thorough hate for the wooden characters and general disdain for the plot. The last 30 minutes of oh-I-get-it-now do not make up for the first 5 hours of this-is-so-improbable-people-don't-act-like-that!
