About this listen

In the chaos of a maternity ward, memories of tragedy and grief come flooding back for an anxious mother-to-be as she struggles to balance her child’s needs with her own healing.

Rushed into an emergency cesarean section, a woman finds herself in the same hospital where her suicidal mother died. She’s buried the trauma of her mother’s last hours--and also the dread that she might be just as vulnerable to breaking. As the new mother relives one crisis in the midst of another, prize-winning author Julie Orringer turns the joyous event of birth into a harrowing, poignant short story.

Julie Orringer’s Can You Feel This? is part of Inheritance, a collection of five stories about secrets, unspoken desires, and dangerous revelations between loved ones. Each piece can be listened to in a single setting. By yourself, behind closed doors, or shared with someone you trust.

I've listened to a few of these short stories and have been pleasantly surprised. I find they engage and draw me in. Short stories and novellas require precise, direct, no-nonsense writing. They simply cannot rely on pages and pages of descriptive narrative; instead, they must jump in and get right to the point. Refreshingly enticing.

Another nice one ...

This story was wonderful. It brought back memories of baby's first days. the excitement, the insecurities, the joy, the smells and the wonder.

Wonderful story

This emotionally engaging book will touch the heart of all first time mothers. Perhaps a too real depiction of the fears and lack of confidence felt by many women as they enter the birth process. For those who have faced loss in childbirth, “Can You Feel This” may be too much. For those who have faced unresolved childhood memories, it may bring healing and strength that life can be faced when you’re loved and cared for. I wanted more as it ended!
