Palace of the Drowned Audiobook Summary
“Emily Pennant-Rea delivers a first-rate narration of Mangan’s intense novel…Pennant-Rea’s subtlety and nuance keep the suspense high and the mystery edgy.” — AudioFile Magazine
From the bestselling author of Tangerine, a “taut and mesmerizing follow up…voluptuously atmospheric and surefooted at every turn” (Paula McLain, author of The Paris Wife and When the Stars Go Dark).
It’s 1966 and Frankie Croy retreats to her friend’s vacant palazzo in Venice. Years have passed since the initial success of Frankie’s debut novel and she has spent her career trying to live up to the expectations. Now, after a particularly scathing review of her most recent work, alongside a very public breakdown, she needs to recharge and get re-inspired.
Then Gilly appears. A precocious young admirer eager to make friends, Gilly seems determined to insinuate herself into Frankie’s solitary life. But there’s something about the young woman that gives Frankie pause. How much of what Gilly tells her is the truth? As a series of lies and revelations emerge, the lives of these two women will be tragically altered as the catastrophic 1966 flooding of Venice ravages the city.
Suspenseful and transporting, Christine Mangan’s Palace of the Drowned brings the mystery of Venice to life while delivering a twisted tale of ambition and human nature.
A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books
“In her taut and mesmerizing follow up to Tangerine, the preternaturally gifted Christine Mangan plunges us into another exotic and bewitchingly rendered locale…Voluptuously atmospheric and surefooted at every turn, Palace of the Drowned more than delivers on the promise of Mangan’s debut, and firmly establishes her as a writer of consequence.” — Paula McLain, author of The Paris Wife and When the Stars Go Dark
“If you like your psychological suspense stories awash in atmosphere, drenched in dread, positively soaked through with sinisterness, ‘Palace of the Drowned,’ by Christine Mangan is for you.” — Washington Post
