Welcome to Litsy!

Book #41
4/5
Unique concept, well written. Parts of it may have gone a bit...unhinged...but that fits the theme nicely. A few people start hearing a hum that most of the population can't hear. They find one another and form a group to try to determine the origin of the hum.

The gay authors were all in fancy dress at the Giller ceremony tonight. Jordan Tannahill was wearing high heeled pumps with this… um… Greek tabard?

the sound wasn‘t loud or abrasive, it was just there, all the time

A woman starts hearing a low hum. It gives her nosebleeds, migraines & insomnia. Nobody else can hear it. Then she finds one of her 17-year-old students hears it too. Their bond over this shared experience is easily misconstrued. Then they find others. A weird, provoking, suspenseful & seductive novel. Right- & left-wing paranoia. Christian faith & atheism. Desire for community. Society split into two irreconcilable camps. #shadowgiller2021 CanLit

Paul and I replaced sex with audiobooks. It was a gradual process, over 4 or 5 years. Occasionally we still managed both.

I had my shit together. I didn‘t need God. That‘s pretty much how I felt since I was 16, when it suddenly struck me that God was no different than every other guy in my high school. He wasn‘t interested in me unless I was down on my knees.
