The Last Time They Met: Booktrack Edition

By: Anita Shreve

Narrated by: Lainie Cooke

The Last Time They Met: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience! *
A dazzling story about marriage, forgiveness, and chances not taken, by the bestselling author of Body Surfing and A Wedding in December.

At a literary festival a poet named Linda Fallon meets for the first time in years a fellow poet, Thomas Janes, whose fame has grown during a decade of seclusion.

This is no chance meeting. Thomas saw that Linda was scheduled to appear, and chose this moment to re-establish contact with a woman he had passionately pursued years earlier. Their affair was disastrous for them both, a turning point in their lives, and the damage they did in those years still haunts them both.

THE LAST TIME THEY MET moves backward in time from Linda at age 52 to explore her life years earlier, at age 26, and still earlier, at 17. Anita Shreve examines the extraordinary resonance a single choice, even a single word, can have over the course of a lifetime.

Compelling story

This was a spectacular story. Very descriptive . The narrator was very precise and easy to listen too. I could definitely have lived without the background music. It was distracting.

I struggled

I had a hard time getting through this. I kept going because of the reviews. I wish I would have given up at the beginning. I did not care for this at all.
