Chorus
Chorus | Rebecca Kauffman

'You don't have to go back. You will stay here at home, with me. This is where you belong.' One afternoon, in a little farmhouse in rural Virginia, the ailing Marie Shaw dies in ambiguous circumstances and nothing is ever the same again for the seven young children she left behind. Spanning from the Great Depression to the burgeoning of US counterculture in 1959, Chorus sensitively traces the divergent paths taken by the grieving Shaw siblings as they grow together and apart over the decades. Henry, Jack, Maeve, Lane, Sam, Wendy and Bette get married and divorced, go to war and give birth to children of their own, break down and pick themselves up again. Chorus is a hopeful story of family, of loss and recovery, of complicated relationships forged between brothers and sisters as they move through life together, and of the unlikely forces that first drive them away and then ultimately back home.

I‘m really enjoying this quiet contemplative audio of the Shaw Family. Seven siblings who lose their mother to suicide when they are all still youngsters. The book is interconnected stories of how each sibling handles the death of their mother.

Megabooks Sounds interesting but more sad than I can deal with atm. 2y

This audiobook unfolds in vignettes spanning decades in the Shaw family‘s lives. From the parents & the seven siblings- revealing the impact of the shared trauma of their mother‘s life & death, as well as other moments that reverberate through their lives. This is a compact read with plenty that I think will spark discussions in book clubs! But it‘s definitely a character-centric book- so look elsewhere for a plot-driven pageturner! #AudioColoring
