À propos de ce contenu audio
With the end of the world predicted, reality bends in an unexpectedly quirky novel about human connection and the meaning of life and death by the bestselling author of Sorry I Missed You.
Marlen and Hilda Jorgensen’s family has received two significant pieces of news: one, Marlen has been diagnosed with a terminal illness. Two, a cosmic blast is set to render humanity extinct within a matter of months. It seems the coming Christmas on their Saskatchewan farm could be their last.
Preparing for the inevitable, they navigate the time they have left together. Marlen and Hilda have channeled their energy into improbably prophetic works of art. Hilda’s elderly father receives a longed-for visitor from his past. Hilda’s teenaged nephew goes missing, and his mother refuses to believe the world is ending. All the while, Hilda’s daughter struggles to find her way home from Berlin with the help of an oddly familiar stranger. For everyone, there’s an unsettling feeling that this unprecedented reality is something they remember.
As the planet holds its collective breath to see what happens next amid chaos, denial, acceptance, and hope, this one family determines to live every moment as if it’s their last. Because, well, it just might be.

“Erin Moon regales listeners with this close-up look at the inner workings of a family that is faced with coinciding personal and global crises.… Moon capably balances portrayals of the extended family members who gather on the family farm at Christmastime and the underlying comedy scattered throughout the story. Her pacing enhances the reflective tone, and she maintains the tension of the multiple looming disasters. Overall, Moon's narration maximizes the quirkiness of this tale of love, impending loss, and certain doom. Why quirky? Because some way, somehow, everyone is starting to think they might have done all of this together before.” —AudioFile Magazine
“A story that will linger in the mind and memory of the reader long after the novel has been finished and set back upon the shelf…highly recommended.” —Midwest Book Review
“I Think We’ve Been Here Before is a rare gem of a book, the kind that instantly inspires you to sit up and pay attention, because something special is unfolding on the page. I don’t know what I loved most—the memorable characters, gripping premise, insightful prose, or nearly perfect ending. Suzy Krause writes with a magical touch.” —Jessica Strawser, USA Today bestselling author of The Last Caretaker
