About this listen

Fate takes many forms....

When Henry receives a letter from an elderly taxidermist; it poses a puzzle that he cannot resist. As he is pulled into the world of this strange and calculating man, Henry becomes increasingly involved with the lives of a donkey and a howler monkey - named Beatrice and Virgil - and the epic journey they undertake together.

With all the spirit and originality that made Life of Pi so treasured, this brilliant new novel takes the listener on a haunting odyssey. On the way, Martel asks profound questions about life and art, truth and deception, responsibility and complicity.

great start to the plot, but gradually it starts to get on the nerve. it's a game of patience for 6 long hours. it a good book dealing with creative block in writing, but extremely over exaggerated. it's just a-50-page-story-turned-into-a-200-page-novel. it's a good book, but not suggested if you have other books on your list, it's quite boring and will test your patience. performance is good. actually the story doesn't deserves such a good performance, would've been easier to just keep the book down and go for something else. hope this helps 👍

took a lot of patience 😓
