Treasure

Hush Collection

De: Oyinkan Braithwaite

Narrado por: Adepero Oduye

A darkly comic short story of class divide, the lives we invent, and the very real risks of preserving an Insta-fame facade by the award-winning author of My Sister, the Serial Killer.

Treasure is a wannabe Instagram influencer in Lagos, Nigeria. She shows off a luxurious life in a gated community that her almost five thousand followers can only dream of. @Sho4Sure is determined to be part of it. The macho mechanic is Treasure’s number one fan, and double taps and blushing emojis are no longer enough. He needs to meet her in the flesh. If only Treasure were more prepared for destiny.

Oyinkan Braithwaite’s Treasure is part of Hush, a collection of six stories, ranging from political mysteries to psychological thrillers, in which deception can be a matter of life and death. Each piece can be read or listened to in one truly chilling sitting.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"With excellent pacing and the use of local dialects, Oduye brings the city of Lagos and these characters into sharp focus…the story’s ending is compelling and holds a few surprises." —AudioFile Magazine

Amazing Performance and Story

I highly recommend this story. It’s so well written. The performance was incredible. It’s a great introduction to audible.

A 4 star allegory

Interesting short story, well written with well developed primary characters. This was my first time for this author and I doubt that it will be my last. I thought it was a timely allegory about those who present themselves as something different in social media to gain"influencer" status.

WOW!

Crazy and "Brilliant " story. And yet so accurately possible. The ideas and possibilities of this story is ENDLESS! WOW! That's really all I can say.

Not very good in my opinion

I couldn't even finish it, not what I would normally like, take your chances if you want

what am i missing!?

There are 6 novellas in the Hush collection. This book is one of them. I didn't really care for it. I think i am in the minority here.
It was one of those books that you're staring into space when it ends wondering, "was that it!!??"

The narrator, Adepero Oduye was great though. 🤷‍♀️
