If Only You People Could Follow Directions is a spellbinding debut by Jessica Hendry Nelson. In linked autobiographical essays, Nelson has reimagined the memoir with her thoroughly original voice, fearless writing, and hypnotic storytelling. At its center, the book is the story of three people: Nelson’s mother Susan, her brother Eric, and Jessica herself.

Would you consider the audio edition of If Only You People Could Follow Directions to be better than the print version?
A reader can make or break an audio book. In this case the added value of the author's voice was positively atmospheric. Nelson's performance is as honest and unique as her prose style. Her eclectic dialect contains echoes of the loneliness and freedom of being in-between two cultures. It just grabs you and won't let go!
Any additional comments?
The form of this book, which blends personal essay and memoir, is ideally suited to listening in short sessions. I was completely engaged by the story and felt invested in the fate of the characters. The honesty with which the author looks at her life is truly commendable.
