Innocents

De: Cathy Coote

Narrado por: Lucky Summer

Written when Cathy Coote was 19, Innocents is a taut, wickedly clever descent into the anatomy of an obsession, the debut of a precociously assured and provocative young literary voice.

Forcing someone vulnerable and naive into a sexual relationship to satisfy a twisted desire is perverted, even evil. But when the perpetrator is a 16-year-old schoolgirl, is she culpable? And if the victim is her 34-year-old teacher, shouldn't he have known better?

When the nameless young narrator of Innocents decides to seduce her teacher, she immediately realizes that the power of her sexuality is greater than she ever imagined. She leaves the aunt and uncle who are her guardians and moves in with her teacher; together, they quickly embark on a journey into their darkest desires.

Unforgettable, disturbing, and morally complex, Innocents permanently unsettles our notions of innocence, experience, and power, and suggests that we all are culpable.

pretty boring

I only listened because I enjoyed the narration. found myself getting distracted with the story

I think I hate this book.

It isn't the themes of the book, It's the detestable main character and verbose prose.

I'm a freak and I like it

it's was all my dark thoughts and narratives put in a different perspective and I loved it

Definitely A headphone listen

Erotic story you’d be embarrassed to get caught listening to, but I found the story interesting and pretty well written for what it is.

no

I was interested by the description but the narrator is annoying and the writing it not done well

Too Awkward

This was not what I thought it would be, it was very off putting. Some people may like it. I thought there would be more a twist and less of a weird story.
