Rooms: A Novel Audiobook (Free)

THE BRAND NEW York Times bestselling writer of Before I Fall and the Delirium trilogy makes her brilliant adult debut with this mesmerizing story in the tradition from the Lovely Bones, Her Fearful Symmetry, as well as the Ocean by the end from the Lane-a tale of family, ghosts, secrets, and mystery, where the lives from the living and the lifeless intersect in shocking, amazing, and moving ways.

Wealthy Richard Walker has just died, leaving behind his country house full of rooms filled with the detritus of a about Rooms: A Book lifetime. His estranged family-bitter ex-wife Caroline, troubled teenage kid Trenton, and unforgiving girl Minna-have arrived for his or her inheritance.

But the Walkers are not alone. Prim Alice and the cynical Sandra, long dead former occupants bound to the home, linger within its claustrophobic wall space. Jostling for space, memory space, and supremacy, they take notice of the family members, trading barbs and reminiscences about their past lives. Though their voices can’t be noticed, Alice and Sandra speak through the house itself-in the hiss of the radiator, a creak in the stairways, the dimming of the light bulb.

The living and deceased are each haunted by painful truths that may shortly surface with explosive force. Whenever a brand-new ghost shows up, and Trenton starts to talk to her, the nature and human worlds collide-with cataclysmic outcomes.

Elegantly constructed and brilliantly paced, Rooms can be an enticing and imaginative ghost story and a searing family drama that is as haunting since it is resonant.
