"Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands" by Chris Bohjalian ***


  • Audiobook
  • Narrator is author's adolescent daughter, interview with them at the end
  • Originally published
  • US author
  • Originally published in 2014
  • Review:  This was my least favorite Bohjalian novel to date.  I am not a huge fan of post-apocalyptic tales. which in desire to provide full disclosure, should be included in my review.  This was an unengaging tale of a young girl and the trials of life not only as a survivor, but as a survivor whose parents both died, both worked at the nuclear plant that melted down, and whose father was being held at least partially responsible for the disaster.  Okay....not an easy burden to bear, but I think the author went overboard and had her experience every possible horrible consequence and it just did not come off as believable to me.  Oh well....I like his other books?
