Crowe’s Requiem (Audible Audio Edition): Mike McCormack, Roger Clark, HighBridge, a division of Recorded Books

Mike McCormack's Crowe's Requiem is a haunting, philosophical, and darkly funny meditation on childhood, aging, and the nature of life and death.

This unforgettable novel follows the life of Crowe, born in a remote Irish village and raised by his grandfather with grim lessons about existence.

Despite being entirely silent until his third birthday, Crowe becomes an observant and isolated teenager before leaving for university and meeting a woman who will change his life forever.
