Nightmare Alley [Ljudbok / CD]

Richard can't stop thinking about the clock. He lies in bed each night listening to its tick-tocking, to the pendulum's heavy swing. Why does his granddad open its old doors in secret and walk into the darkness beyond? One night, too inquisitive to sleep, Richard tiptoes from his bed, opens the cherry wood doors, and steps inside . . .

From America's most beloved superstar and its greatest storyteller-a thriller about a young singer/songwriter on the rise and on the run, and determined to do whatever it takes to survive. Parton will simultaneously release an album of the same name, consisting of twelve original songs she was inspired by the book to write, record, and produce. The novel also includes lyrics to the songs, which are essential to the story. Every song tells a story. She's a star on the rise, singing about the hard life behind her. She's also on the run. Find a future, lose a past. Nashville is where she's come to claim her destiny. It's also where the darkness she's fled might find her. And destroy her.

<b>From the twice Booker-shortlisted author of<i> The Reluctant Fundamentalist </i>and <i>Exit West</i>, a story of love, loss, and rediscovery in a time of unsettling change</b><br/><br/> One morning, Anders wakes to find that his skin has turned dark, his reflection a stranger to him. At first he tells only Oona, an old friend, newly a lover.<br/><br/> Soon, reports of similar occurrences surface across the land. Some see in the transformations the long-dreaded overturning of an established order, to be resisted to a bitter end. In many, like Anders's father and Oona's mother, a sense of profound loss wars with profound love.<br/><br/> As the bond between Anders and Oona deepens, change takes on a different shading: a chance to see one another, face to face, anew.<br/><br/> <b>'A transformative tale . . . [<i>The Last White Man</i>] is compellingly readable and strangely musical, as if being recounted as a kind of folktale to future generations' <i>Guardian</i></b><br/><br/> <b>'With this big-hearted novel of ideas, Mohsin Hamid confronts challenging truths with insight, wisdom, and - above all else - limitless compassion' Tayari Jones, author of <i>An American Marriage<br/> </i></b><br/> <b>'Gorgeously crafted . . . <i>The Last White Man</i> concludes on a note of hope, a door jarred open just enough to let transcendence pour through' <i>O, the Oprah Magazine</i></b>
