This month, he highlights "The Life Cycle of the Common Octopus" by Emma Knight, which delves into the British class system through a Scottish college experience, and explores complex mother-daughter relationships in both Neko Case's and Shari Franke's works.
Every month, audiobook connoisseur Marshall Heyman listens to hours and hours of freshly published novels and nonfiction. He then recommends his favorite new titles, which often include juicy celebrity memoirs, buzzy literary fare, gripping thrillers, sweet romances, thoughtful essays, and even some poetry.
In the department of challenging relationships between daughters and their mothers, I enjoyed both the singer Neko Case's The Harder I Fight the More I Love You and Shari Franke's The House of My Mother, as painful as both could occasionally be.
The Life Cycle of the Common Octopus, by Emma Knight, is a charming novel about the British class system and coming of age at college in Scotland.
