Audiobook review of The Rachel Incident by Caroline O’Donoghue

In Caroline O’Donoghue’s acclaimed novel, The Rachel Incident (9.5 hours), college scholar Rachel is extraordinarily busy juggling a precarious love pentagon involving her Victorian Literature professor, her homosexual greatest buddy James, her boss (who occurs to be the professor’s spouse) and her boyfriend. Naturally, errors are made. But regardless of being very humorous, The Rachel Incident will not be a farce; it’s a narrative about forgiveness for the hurt performed to us and the hurt we do to others.

County Cork, Ireland, native Tara Flynn offers a superb efficiency because the older Rachel wanting again on her tumultuous early 20s. Her voice is heat and genuine, and he or she is blessed with terrific comedian timing. Best of all, Flynn’s nuanced narration displays not solely Rachel’s raucous sense of humor but in addition her hard-earned perception and compassion. The result’s an audiobook that’s as sensible as it’s hilarious.
