Listening Still by Anne Griffin

Listening Still by Anne Griffin

Magical realism is my absolute favorite genre to read and it was a perfect background to Jeanie’s story. Jeanie inherited the family trait of being able to speak to the dead for a limited time after they die. I love that the book isn’t centered around this though; it’s really about Jeanie figuring out what she wants her life to look like, despite seeming to have it all. She has a husband who loves her and is set to have the family business passed to her when her father retires, but she might want something completely different. She can’t stop thinking about traveling or her high school boyfriend, whose love story is revealed throughout the book. I enjoyed the feel of Ireland throughout the book as well. I really loved reading this figuring-life-out story.

I was given a copy of Listening Still via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
