“This tragicomic novel is heartfelt, touching, and delightfully quirky. You’ll fall in love with the offbeat cast of characters (both living and dead) and find yourself rooting for them right through the last page.”—Good Housekeeping (Book Club pick)

A lost young woman returns to small-town New Hampshire under the strangest of circumstances in this one-of-a-kind novel of life, death, and whatever comes after from the acclaimed author of Rabbit Cake and The Road to Tender Hearts.

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, Book Riot
• Longlisted for the Joyce Carol Oates Prize

It was a source of entertainment at Maple Street Cemetery. Both funny and sad, the kind of story we like best.

Natural-born healer Emma Starling once had big plans for her life, but she’s lost her way. A medical school dropout, she’s come back to small-town Everton, New Hampshire, to care for her father, who is dying from a mysterious brain disease. Clive Starling has been hallucinating small animals, as well as having visions of the ghost of a long-dead naturalist, Ernest Harold Baynes, once known for letting wild animals live in his house. This ghost has been giving Clive some ideas on how to spend his final days.

Emma arrives home knowing she must face her dad’s illness, her mom’s judgment, and her younger brother’s recent stint in rehab, but she’s unprepared to find that her former best friend from high school is missing, with no one bothering to look for her. The police say they don’t spend much time looking for drug addicts. Emma’s dad is the only one convinced the young woman might still be alive, and Emma is hopeful he could be right. Someone should look for her, at least. Emma isn’t really trying to be a hero, but somehow she and her father bring about just the kind of miracle the town needs.

Set against the backdrop of a small town in the throes of a very real opioid crisis, Unlikely Animals is a tragicomic novel about familial expectations, imperfect friendships, and the possibility of resurrecting that which had been thought irrevocably lost.

This must be my favorite audiobook this year so far, it’s a pitch perfect (more than) rendition by Mark Bramhall of this hilarious (as well as a little sad) story about a small town in New Hampshire. Quirky characters galore- it’s about community and family (by blood and by choice), and all these far-reaching relationships, and about a bunch of animals, of course. Thank you @Book Riot for the recommendation- I would not have wanted to miss this for life.

Ein Buch, mit dem man nicht aufhören kann und gleichzeitig nicht ans Ende kommen möchte. Ich mochte die Protagonisten so sehr, musste oft lachen, manchmal nur schmunzeln, ab und an fast weinen und fand es immer herzergreifend und spannend.
Ein ganz besonderes Buch und absolut empfehlenswert

Ich liebe alles daran
