A Cure for Suicide: A Novel Audiobook (Free)

***LONG-LISTED FOR THE Country wide BOOK AWARD***

From the author of Silence Once Begun, a beguiling new novel about a guy starting at the most basic level, as well as the strange girl who insinuates herself into his life and storage.

A guy and a woman have moved right into a little house in a small village. The girl is an “examiner,” the man, her “claimant.” The examiner is certainly both doctor and guide, billed with teaching the claimant some simple functions: that is a chair, that is a fork, this is one way you satisfy people. She makes records in her journal about his progress: he is showing improvement yet his dreams are troubling. One day the examiner brings the claimant to a party, where he matches Hilda, a charismatic but volatile girl whose surprising assertions toss everything the claimant offers learned into question. What is this village? How come he here? And who’s Hilda? A fascinating novel of love, illness, despair, and betrayal, An end to Suicide is the most fascinating novel yet from one of our most audacious and original young writers.
