Complete audiobook review
This is a story of a 10-year-old Lenny. His father, Jim, came back from the war and now suffers from PTSD. His mother, Mari-Rose, left. Lenny's elderly neighbor Miss Julie and local librarian Lucy Albert care about him and try to help him. Lenny is a slow-paced literary fiction set in Roseville, Louisiana, where a chemical factory causes an environmental issue.
We follow two timelines: Ubari Sand Sea (Libya) in 2011 and Roseville (Louisiana, US) in 2012. The novel deals with family, love, loneliness, and a few sensitive topics, like loss and grief. It is often sad but still a heartwarming story.
I enjoyed the narration of John Chancer, who made this story come to life.
