Publisher's summary

Shortlisted for the 2017 Man Booker Prize

Even a lone wolf wants to belong....

Fourteen-year-old Linda lives with her parents in an ex-commune beside a lake in the beautiful, austere backwoods of Northern Minnesota. The other girls at school call Linda 'Freak' or 'Commie'. Her parents mostly leave her to her own devices whilst the other inhabitants have grown up and moved on.

So when the perfect family - mother, father and their little boy, Paul - move into the cabin across the lake, Linda insinuates her way into the family's orbit. She begins to babysit Paul and feels that she finally has a place to belong. But something isn't right. Drawn into secrets she doesn't understand, Linda must make a choice. But how can a girl with no real knowledge of the world understand what the consequences will be?

Terrible

The book shifts between the past and present and there is no real development. It's a twisted way of stating what bad things happened in the past and Linda never going past it. There is no resolution and the ending is pointless. I believe I wasted my time listening to this one. In the end I wanted the ending to justify my reading this book but I was frustrated.

The worst piece of art i listened to

Just a collection of unimportant chats and thoughts that doesn't make any sense. It is very poor attempt to attract some listeners.
