Summary:
'A multicast presentation of a novel with this many disparate narrative elements could easily become chaotic, so it is testament to the narrators talents and Montimores brilliant plot structure, compelling characters, and sharp, often hilarious prose that listeners are instead treated to an absolutely delightful audiobook, essential for all contemporary fiction collections.'- Library Journal
This program features unique sound design and is read by a multicast that brilliantly weaves together the narrative elements, the podcast episodes, and the documents within the story.
From Margarita Montimore, the author of GMA Book Club pick and national bestseller Oona Out of Order, Acts of Violet is a dazzling and twisty new novel about a famous magician who disappears, leaving her sister to figure out what really happened.
Nearly a decade ago, iconic magician Violet Volk performed her greatest trick yet: vanishing mid-act. Though she hasnt been seen since, her hold on the public hasnt wavered. While Violet sought out the spotlight, her sister Sasha, ever the responsible one, took over their mothers salon and built a quiet life for her daughter, Quinn. But Sasha can never seem to escape her sisters orbit or her memories of their unresolved, tumultuous relationship. Then theres Cameron Frank, determined to finally get his big break hosting a podcast devoted to all things Violetthough keeping his job hinges on an exclusive interview with Sasha, the last person who wants to talk to him.
As the ten-year anniversary approaches, the podcast picks up steam, and Camerons pursuit of Sasha becomes increasingly intrusive. He isnt the only one wondering what secrets she might be keeping: Quinn, loyal to the aunt she always idolized, is doing her own investigating. Meanwhile, Sasha begins to experience an unsettling series of sleepwalking episodes and coincidences, which all lead back to Violet. Pushed to her emotional limits, Sasha must finally confront the most painful truths about her sister, and herself, even at the risk of losing everything.
Alternating between Sashas narration and Camerons podcast transcripts, interspersed with documents that offer a tantalizing peek at Violet herself, Acts of Violet is an utterly original, propulsive story of fame, deception, and forgiveness that will make you believe in magic.
