The Night of the Moths

De: Riccardo Bruni, Anne Milano Appel - translator

Narrado por: Cassandra Campbell

Alice was a hopeful young graduate student when, on a beautiful August night, her body was found in the woods. She'll always remember the night she was murdered. And she still suffers the grief and rage that destroyed her family.

But what Alice regrets most is the last fight she had with her boyfriend, Enrico - and the fact that she never had the chance to tell him something that would have changed everything.

A decade later, Enrico has returned to the provincial town where Alice lived and died, to sell his family home. All he wants is to forget. But then, among the things he left behind, he finds an old cell phone...and unread texts sent from Alice's phone.

Now, her terrible secrets are about to swallow up everyone she knew, loved, and trusted. For Enrico, discovering them is his only chance to put his lost love - and the demons of his past - to rest.

Very Good Plot

I really enjoyed this story. It seem like I could see it happening. At first there were too many people to remember but a quarter of the way in I began to distinguish and recall characters. I think I could have had more of an ending but I guess there was only one person left to reconcile with the death of the girl. Very sad story but well written.

Beautiful

Loved it. This is an excellent book. Beautifully written and performed. I loved it. .

Great Story!

Cassandra Campbell does a beautiful narration.The story is artfully told, intriguing & intense with just the right amount of creepy thrown in! The characters are interesting & well developed.

Interesting - Mystery and Relationships

If you could sum up The Night of the Moths in three words, what would they be?

interesting, narrated beautifully, relationship-focused

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

The plot did move well - not like a traditional thriller, though. It was a bit more meandering - in and out of the characters' lives, and I actually really liked that. This was more of a cross between a novel and a mystery.

What about Cassandra Campbell’s performance did you like?

I ADORED her beautiful, lilting Italian voice. Half the time I hoped the book would never end, just so I could keep listening to her!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The book didn't give me any extreme reactions - but it always produced enough emotional investment for me to want to keep reading.

Excellent!

Very well written! The narrator was one of the best I’ve ever listened to! Enjoy!
