Acerca de esta escucha
A North of Ireland woman learns through her child's tragedy how to face her prejudices while on a holiday in Turkey. Shortlisted for the Willesden Prize, Jolt is a story about perception and ingrained prejudices that we can carry around with us in our everyday lives. Sometimes it can take a journey to a strange place to waken us into a less intransigent way of seeing the world.

Question: How do you arrange to skip town? Answer: You accept them all.

Molly’s 70th birthday comes as something of a shock. The woman in the mirror certainly looks every day of those 70 years, but inside Molly feels she still has so much more living left to do. Widowed and living alone with her cat Crumper, Molly fears she is slipping into a cliché of old age. When Molly’s sister Nell appears on her doorstep, distraught that her husband of more than 40 years, Phil, has left her for a younger lover, the women decide to seize the day. By the morning, flights are booked, bags are packed and off they go for an adventure in Spain.

The grisly headline leaves nothing to the imagination: "Woman's torso recovered from Tokyo Bay. Believed to be missing British bartender Lily Bridges." The only suspect is Lucy Fly. Her friend is dead, her lover has disappeared, and as far as anyone is concerned, she's as good as guilty. Trapped in the interrogation room, Lucy begins to unravel two stories. One, for the police, is a spare outline, offering more questions than answers. The other - the real one, if you believe her - is a gripping dive into an obsessive mind, revealing the checkered past that brought her to Japan.

When Sophie’s life falls apart, she accepts an invitation from a childhood friend, Caroline, to visit her family’s beautiful beach house, miles from the nearest town. The silence is broken only by the rhythmic crash of the waves against the jagged black rocks below. But when Sophie arrives, she finds her friend much changed. Caroline - who used to be so warm and confident - is secretive and on-edge, spending long, unexplained hours away from her family. And then there’s Caroline’s little daughter Lucy - who stopped speaking soon after they moved in.

And then one day, this closest of friendships grows into something more. But then, we fast-forward a decade or so to find that Ellis is married to Annie, and Michael is nowhere in sight. Which leads to the question: What happened in the years between?

The stories in Fresh Complaint explore equally rich—and intriguing—territory. Ranging from the bitingly reproductive antics of “Baster” to the dreamy, moving account of a young traveler’s search for enlightenment in “Air Mail” (selected by Annie Proulx for Best American Short Stories), this collection presents characters in the midst of personal and national emergencies. We meet a failed poet who, envious of other people’s wealth during the real-estate bubble, becomes an embezzler; a clavichordist whose dreams of art founder under the obligations of marriage and fatherhood.

Nice Short Story
This was a quick listen about grief and prejudice. I enjoyed the setting and found there was a lot of emotion packed into this short story.
Heber Rowan has a nice voice, but I found it a bit broken at times.
I received a copy of this book at my request, and I have voluntarily left this review.

Tragic and Sweet
This book made me cry.
Tragedies very hard to write. Normally people write tragedies just unfortunate events. A tragedy is so much more than that.
A GOOD tragedy is writen not only as unfortunate events, but delves into the characters mindset and enables the reader to see how they deal with it.
In this book, the characters deal with grief. Loss can tear a family apart. People need to be strong and face loss and not run from it. It is a beautiful novella but very short.
It suffers however from a lackluster performance by Heber Rowan. He is a talented narrator with a good inflection and range. He however uses too many unecessary pauses in hte middle of his performance. Its like he is searching for the word ne deeds to say next.

Confronting grief and prejudice
This was an interesting story about facing prejudice and not being able to escape the past and the pain it's brought. Jolt was good despite meandered strangely at times.
The narrator has a lovely voice but has a hard time maintaining flow. There are far too many jarring moments where it's clear that he's reading unfamiliar material.
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Short story
This is a super short story. I felt it had a lot packed in the shortness of the story however it didn't feel resolved at the end but other than that I enjoyed it. Heber Rowan does a good job. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
