【實用書籍app】Liars And Saints (by Maile Meloy)|最夯免費app-綠色工廠好玩App

LIARS AND SAINTS by Maile Meloy (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).This richly textured novel tells a story of love, loss and longing, and of the secrets that can lie at the heart of a family. Set in California, Liars and Saints follows the Catholic Santerres from World War II to the present. In a family driven by love, jealousy and propriety, an unspoken tradition of deceit is passed from generation to generation, until tragedy brings out the truth. By turns funny and disturbing, irreverent and profound, Liars and Saints is a masterful display of Maile Meloy’s prodigious gifts and of her penetrating insight into an extraordinary American family.Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing.
