Years ago, just before the country was incinerated to wasteland, 10 men and their families colonized an island off the coast. They built a radical society of ancestor worship, controlled breeding, and the strict rationing of knowledge and history. Only the Wanderers - chosen male descendants of the original 10 - are allowed to cross to the wastelands, where they scavenge for detritus among the still-smoldering fires.

liked the story, disliked the narrator
Revisado: 09-29-19
the story is raw and graphic but somehow still captivating and mesmerizing. not the kind of story for everyone, especially those whom it could trigger due to rape and insest themes, but I enjoyed it. I, however, really disliked the narrator. it's possibly only a preference because I tend to be rather picky, but the narrator detracted a lot from the story for me. there is enough male dialogue that there really needed to be another male narrator for those parts because a woman trying to imitate the gruffness and deepness of a man's voice, especially with such topics this book discusses, was a big mistake in my opinion. she did better with the female voices but, even though these were mostly female children and their voices would be higher pitched, it still seemed strained a bit and to falsetto.

"It is the heart of this place, and it is dying," says the Beast. And it is true; the center of the Beast's palace, the glittering glasshouse that brings Beauty both comfort and delight in her strange new environment, is filled with leafless brown rosebushes. But deep within this enchanted world, new life, at once subtle and strong, is about to awaken. Twenty years ago Robin McKinley enthralled listeners with the power of Beauty. Now this extraordinarily gifted novelist retells the story of Beauty and the Beast again - but in a totally new way, with fresh perspective, ingenuity, and mature insight.

THE. MOST. PHENOMENAL. AUDIOBOOK I have EVER heard
Revisado: 09-22-19
narration was the best I have ever experienced, hands down. beautiful pauses, beautiful execution of voices, so much exquisite subtlety. the story had always been a favorite of mine but this brought it to life more than anything ever has. I don't think I could ever read it again for I would miss hearing it too much. breathtaking.
