Snap

A Novel

De: Susin Nielsen

Narrado por: Carol Schneider

Longlisted for the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour

A laugh-out-loud novel about the consequences of being pushed to the edge—and plummeting right over it

Frances Partridge, fifty-five, is a beloved children’s author. Geraint Blevins, forty-one, is an auto mechanic and devoted family man. Parker Poplawski, twenty-three, is just starting her career as a wardrobe assistant on a hit TV show. What do these people have in common?

Nothing, that’s what. Until each of them reaches a breaking point and snaps in spectacular fashion. They meet in a court-mandated anger management class: three very different people, forced to spend a lot of time together, who slowly end up bonding and helping one another in unexpected ways, whether it’s to move on or to exact revenge.

Lighthearted, timely, and funny, Snap is Nielsen at the top of her storytelling game, delivering flawed but relatable characters whose heartaches, foibles, and choices will make you cringe as you laugh out loud.

Great characters and heart warming story

A wonderful journey with unexpected laughs and tears. Beautifully flawed characters. I didn’t want it to end.
