Reading time 8 hours, 39 minutes. Read by Carlotta Brentan. A production of National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled, Library of Congress. Subjects: Psychological Fiction Description: "Summer is coming to a close on the East End of Long Island, and Alex is no longer welcome. A misstep at a dinner party, and the older man she's been staying with dismisses her with a ride to the train station and a ticket back to the city. With few resources and a waterlogged phone, but gifted with an ability to navigate the desires of others, Alex stays on Long Island and drifts like a ghost through the hedged lanes, gated driveways, and sun-blasted dunes of a rarefied world that is, at first, closed to her. Propelled by desperation and a mutable sense of morality, she spends the week leading up to Labor Day moving from one place to the next, a cipher leaving destruction in her wake." -- Provided by publisher. Unrated. Commercial audiobook. Your facilitator is Michelle Bernstein, (hamletsweetlady@gmail.com).
