About this listen
Four years after their bitter divorce, Claire and Aaron Litvak get a phone call no parent is prepared for: their 22-year-old daughter Lindsey, teaching English in China during a college gap year, has been critically injured in a hit and run accident. At a Shanghai hospital they wait at her bedside, hoping for the best and preparing for the worst.
The accident unearths a deeper fissure in the family: the shocking event that ended the Litvaks’ marriage and turned Lindsey against them. Estranged from her parents, she has confided only in her younger sister, Grace, adopted as an infant from China. As Claire and Aaron struggle to get their bearings in bustling, cosmopolitan Shanghai, the newly prosperous “miracle city,” they face troubling questions about Lindsey’s life there, in which nothing is quite as it seems.
With her trademark psychological acuity, Jennifer Haigh delivers a taut, suspenseful story about family, secret lives, and the unbreakable bond between two sisters, the fabled red thread that ties them together across time and space.
“Ms. Haigh is an expertly nuanced storyteller long overdue for major attention. Her work is gripping, real, and totally immersive, akin to that of writers as different as Richard Price, Richard Ford, and Richard Russo.” ― The New York Times

Story
Miranda’s parents live in a dilapidated house in rural France that they share with two llamas, eight ducks, five chickens, two cats, and a freezer full of food dating back to 1983. This wry, propulsive story about a singularly eccentric family and the sibling rivalry, generational divides, and long-buried secrets that shape them, is a glorious debut novel from a seasoned playwright with immense empathy and a flair for dialogue.

Two people meet for lunch in a Manhattan restaurant. She’s an accomplished actress in rehearsals for an upcoming premiere. He’s attractive, troubling, young—young enough to be her son. Who is he to her, and who is she to him? In this compulsively readable, brilliantly constructed novel, two competing narratives unspool, rewriting our understanding of the roles we play every day–partner, parent, creator, muse–and the truths every performance masks, especially from those who think they know us most intimately.

Beth and her gentle, kind husband Frank are happily married, but their relationship relies on the past staying buried. But when Beth’s brother-in-law shoots a dog going after their sheep, Beth doesn’t realize that the gunshot will alter the course of their lives. For the dog belonged to none other than Gabriel Wolfe, the man Beth loved as a teenager—the man who broke her heart years ago. Gabriel has returned to the village with his young son Leo, a boy who reminds Beth very much of her own son, who died in a tragic accident.

She’s happy and settled and productive and content in her full life—a child, a career, an admirable marriage, deep friendships, happy parents, and a spouse she still loves. But when her husband urges her to address what the narrow labels of “husband” and “wife” force them to edit out of their lives, the very best kind of hell breaks loose. Using the author’s personal experiences as a jumping-off point, Crush is about the danger and liberation of chasing desire, the havoc it can wreak, and most of all the clear sense of self one finds when the storm passes.

Story
Miranda’s parents live in a dilapidated house in rural France that they share with two llamas, eight ducks, five chickens, two cats, and a freezer full of food dating back to 1983. This wry, propulsive story about a singularly eccentric family and the sibling rivalry, generational divides, and long-buried secrets that shape them, is a glorious debut novel from a seasoned playwright with immense empathy and a flair for dialogue.

The Condition tells the story of the McKotches, a proper New England family that comes apart during one fateful summer. One day on the beach, Frank McKotch is struck by an image he cannot forget: his 13-year-old daughter, Gwen, strangely infantile in her child-sized bikini, standing a full head shorter than her younger cousin Charlotte. At that moment, he knows a truth that he can never again unknow: something is terribly wrong with his only daughter.

Story
Anna first fell in love with London at her hometown library—its Jane Austen balls a far cry from her life of food stamps and hand-me-downs. But when she finally arrives after college, the real London is a moldy flat and the same paycheck-to-paycheck grind—that fairy-tale life still out of reach. Then Anna meets the Wilders, who fly her to Saint-Tropez to tutor their teenage daughter. Swept up by the sphinx-like elder sister, Anna soon finds herself plunged into a heady whirlpool of parties and excess, a place where confidence is a birthright.

Story
Informed by real-life events, from Japanese incarceration to the Vietnam War and modern-day immigrant detention, Kevin Nguyen’s novel gives us a version of reality only a few degrees away from our own. Moving and finely attuned to both the brutalities and mundanities of racism, Mỹ Documents is a strangely funny and touching portrait of American ambition, fear, and family. The story of the Nguyens is one of resilience and how we return to one another, and to ourselves, after tragedy.

Deeply touching
I bought this book on a blind by at B N. I got the Audible so I can listen while I’m doing my work wow what can I say? This is just an amazing book. I didn’t expect all of the topics and for everything to hit you so deeply it’s very very well written the Audible is incredible. They do such a good job at portraying. The emotions will not Adding too much context to the story.
I this book will sit with me for a while in a good way and also an emotional way

Unable to put the book down, I am still digesting the characters, as though I were a psychologist.

dark
4.25 stars for Rabbit Moon by Jennifer Haigh. This book starts out with a very traumatic event and only gets heavier as it goes on. It's the story of a broken family brought together by tragedy. If you are someone like me who needs some shred of redemption in your dark reading - this is not the book for you. In spite of how well written it is, I find it hard to say I "liked" this book. It's just very grim. Trigger warnings abound so if you are sensitive to certain themes, you should definitely check before going in. I'd recommend for readers who appreciate a well told dysfunctional family drama and don't really care if a story is depressing AF as long as the writing is solid.

Jennifer Haigh never disappoints
Loved this book. So different from Mercy Street yet still so compelling. Learned so much about the Chinese culture. She really delved into family dynamics when families are broken and grieving and did it with such truth. Cannot wait for her next boon.

Rounded Up Rating
Ms. Haigh is one of my favorite authors, so I had high expectations for this one. While the book started off strong and was well-written, the primary point of conflict (no spoilers) wasn't fully explored in terms of why it happened. Additionally, it felt like there were too many storylines so the author couldn't fully explore what appeared to be the primary story.
I did enjoy the book, for the most part. For me, the story rapidly lost steam in the last hour or so. The ending was disappointing and I admit that I didn't listen to the last 15 minutes.
The book is worth a credit---it's not a bad book, I rounded up my 3.5 rating to a 4. It's just not the talented Ms. Haigh's best work. It seemed to be an exercise in checking too many boxes in terms of contemporary topics, losing focus on the primary character's story.

The familial and international connections of families and a very clear snapshot of a modern and normal situation made international by adoption was eye opening and beautifully compelling

That it was mostly set on china.
I wish there had been more of a plot. It was a story that went nowhere.
