À propos de cet audio

"Achingly tender."
"Intimate and astonishing."

For fans of You've Reached Sam and If I Stay, a hauntingly beautiful, ultimately hopeful novel-in-verse about a girl in between life and death, by National Book Award Finalist Amber McBride, who also narrates.

Gospel is the Keeper of the Leaving Room—a place all young people must phase through when they die. The young are never ready to leave; they need a moment to remember and a Keeper to help their wispy souls along.

When a random door opens and a Keeper named Melodee arrives, their souls become entangled. Gospel's seriousness melts and Melodee’s fear of connection fades, but still—are Keepers allowed to fall in love? Now they must find a way out of the Leaving Room and be unafraid of their love. In a novel that takes place over four minutes, National Book Award finalist Amber McBride explores connection, memory, and hope in ways that are unforgettable and poignant.

"[Amber] McBride brings a special gift to this production by narrating her own material. Skillfully, her pacing reflects the verse format of her novel, providing the rhythms she intends to her words." —AudioFile on We Are All So Good at Smiling

Ce que les critiques en disent

<p><b>"Intimate and astonishing..."</b> -- Jason Reynolds, <i>New York Times </i>Bestselling Author<br><br>★ "A 17-year-old guardian of the memories of recently deceased young people questions her purpose in the latest from National Book Award finalist McBride....<b>McBride is a master of verse, weaving lines with emotion and character development, articulating pain and hope with an economy of words, and documenting Black lives with tenderness. Reverberating with a haunting trauma, this powerful narrative is packed with Black joy, queer love, and feminist defiance.</b> Compelling and evocative: <b>a must-read.</b> Kirkus Reviews, <i><b>starred review<br></b></i><br>★<b>"Achingly tender...through quiet, in-between-feeling moments rendered in an eerie, philosophical tone, McBride considers the liminal spaces between life and death, as well as the weight of grief and loss on children, particularly Black youth.</b> Richly imagined settings pulled from Leavers’ memories (“Haint-­blue ceilings/ & rocking chairs to sit/ & watch giant willows weep”) evoke Black Southern gothic imagery, adding texture to this wholesome speculative novel."--Publishers Weekly, <b><i>starred review</i></b></p>
