Tiny

A Memoir about Love, Letting Go and a Very Small House

De: Louise Southerden

Narrado por: Louise Southerden

In her successful career as a travel writer, Southerden found herself staying in ever new and exotic locations, but while staying in a cabin in Norway, she had an epiphany about what she truly wanted for her life, ready to put down roots.

With no prior building experience, Southerden decided to build a tiny house with her partner, Max, which tested an already unstable relationship. Over the year and a half of planning and construction of her tiny house, Southerden witnessed her new home coming together as her relationship was falling apart. Alongside her burgeoning construction skills, Southerden learned about love, home, forgiveness and what we really need to be happy.

This is an intensely personal story about searching for home and true love, two of life's most fundamental needs, risking everything, failing and finding ways to cope, and discovering that what we need isn't always what we thought we wanted.

Annoying narrator/protagonist

Narrator has an unmodulated voice that becomes dull and annoying after listening for a while. I also became annoyed at her inability to break free from a boyfriend who was unsupportive and abusive. The postscript indicated that she moved her tiny house off his property but that was a decision that I would have liked to have read about. What made her do it finally?
