In the summer of 1987, 25-year-old Eve Rosen, an aspiring writer languishing in a low-level assistant job, jumps at the chance to attend an early summer gathering at the Cape Cod home of famed New Yorker writer Henry Grey and his poet wife. Eve lands a new job as Henry Grey’s research assistant and an invitation to Henry and Tillie’s exclusive and famed "Book Party". But by the night of the party, Eve discovers uncomfortable truths about her summer entanglements and understands that the literary world she so desperately wanted to be a part of is not at all what it seems.

Great story, distracting narration
Revisado: 08-15-19
The is a nice little story with some rather surprising turns, though the plot moved so quickly as to be a bit thin and unevenly fleshed out. The narration, however, was quite a distraction, making me wish I was reading rather than listening. In shorter sentences, the reader's pronunciation of words became clipped toward the end of the sentences, making it sound a bit like Siri at times. I normally don't notice the narration much at all (the mark of a great narrator?). In this, I became distracted initially by a very odd and repeated pronunciation of the town of Truro, which emphasized the second syllable. There were a few other instances of seemingly odd pronunciations, and because Truro is referenced constantly, I actually became angry at this seeming oversight. If it was intentional for whatever reason, it was a bad decision.
