The Little Friend Audiobook (Free)

The next novel by Donna Tartt, bestselling writer of The Goldfinch (winner of the 2014 Pulitzer Prize), THE TINY Friend is a grandly ambitious and absolutely riveting novel of childhood, innocence and evil.

The setting is Alexandria, Mississippi, where one Mother’s Day just a little boy named Robin Cleve Dufresnes was found dangling from a tree in his parents’ yard. Twelve years later on Robin’s murder continues to be unsolved and his family remains devastated. So it can be that Robin’s sister Harriet-unnervingly shiny, insufferably determined, and unduly affected from the fiction of Kipling and Robert Louis Stevenson–sets out to unmask his killer. Aided only by her worshipful friend Hely, Harriet crosses her town’s rigid lines of competition and caste and burrows deep into her family’s history of loss. Filled up with hairpin becomes of story and “a bustling, ridiculous humanity worth Dickens” (The New York Times Reserve Review), THE TINY Friend is normally a function of myriad enchantments by a writer of prodigious talent.
