Stella Maris by Cormac McCarthy []

view/request

If ever a novel was meant to be read aloud, this is the one. It is voiced with perfection by Julia Whelan and Edorardo Balerini. A suicidal severely disturbed but brilliant mathematician has admitted herself to a psychiatric facility. Her psychologist peels away the layers of falsehood and obfuscation as the sessions proceed. This was the last book McCarthy published before his recent death. There is no happily ever after here, but a peaceful goodbye.
