The Little Friend – Audiobook Online By: Donna Tartt
As the second novel by Donna Tartt, bestselling author The Goldfinch (2014 Pulitzer Prize winner), The Little Friend is an ambitious and wildly engaging novel about childhood, innocence and evil.
The setting is Alexandria, Mississippi, where on Mother’s Day, a boy named Robin Cleve Dufresnes is found hanging from a tree in his parents’ yard.
Twelve years later Robin’s murder is still unsolved and his family is still devastated. So Robin’s sister Harriet – terrifyingly intelligent, unstoppable and unduly influenced by Kipling and Robert Louis Stevenson’s novels – sets out to unmask his killer. Aided only by her adoring friend Hely, Harriet transcends the town’s rigid caste and racial boundaries and delves into her family’s lossy history.
Brimming with plot twists and “a boisterous, ridiculous humanity worthy of Dickens” (The New York Times Book Review), The Little Friend is the enthralling work of a writer whose extraordinary talent.
First of all, the narrator is amazing and second of all, this is one of the most interesting books I have ever read. I love the setting, I love the plot and most of all I love the characters. The narrator did a great job of bringing people to life and I’m from the south myself so a lot of these names and sayings stick with me.
Tartt’s test is wonderfully descriptive, evoking sounds, smells, sight and taste. So much so that it seems entirely true and acceptable that the plot is nothing much. How important is it. The book flows smoothly, like life. Harriet was an attractive twelve – year – old. Tartt has somehow retained more of a sense of childhood than any other author I know.
