THE GOD OF ENDINGS

Narrator Saskia Maarleveld takes listeners through the storied life of a vampire who is struggling to make sense of her long existence. Collette LeSange lives a quiet life as an elite fine arts teacher of children in 1984 New York--until a young boy from a troubled home upsets her careful routine. Reflecting on the traumatic experiences of her own life, she tries to avoid the ending that seems to be pursuing her and her young charge. Maarleveld's narration takes the exquisite prose of this story and elevates it to a lyrical listening experience. Her consistently skilled delivery moves through a variety of accents and time periods. This audiobook is a fascinating story told by a masterful performer.
