Jeanie Masterson tiene un don: puede escuchar a las personas recién fallecidas y dar voz a sus últimos deseos y confesiones. Ha heredado esta peculiaridad de su padre, y le ha permitido a la funeraria de su familia triunfar en el pueblo irlandés donde viven. Sin embargo, siempre ha sentido cierta incomodidad al censurar algunos de los últimos mensajes de los muertos a los vivos. Tampoco sabe si tomó la decisión correcta diecisiete años atrás, cuando terminó la escuela y se encontró ante la disyuntiva de continuar en el negocio familiar o comenzar una nueva vida en Londres con su carismático novio de la adolescencia. De pronto, cuando los padres de Jeanie anuncian su plan de jubilarse, ella se ve obligada a actuar. Tras el éxito de su aclamado debut When All Is Said, Anne Griffin regresa para retratar a una joven que se debate entre el deber, un matrimonio cómodo, una vocación que ama y odia al mismo tiempo y su última oportunidad de ser libre. La chica que oía a los muertos es una novela conmovedora y honesta sobre aquello a lo que renunciamos y lo que ganamos cuando elegimos seguir a nuestro corazón.
Jeanie Masterson has a gift: she can hear the recently dead and give voice to their final wishes and revelations. Inherited from her father, this gift has enabled the family undertakers to flourish in their small Irish town. Yet she has always been uneasy about censoring some of the dead's last messages to the living. Unsure, too, about the choice she made when she left school seventeen years ago: to stay or leave for a new life in London with her charismatic teenage sweetheart. So when Jeanie's parents unexpectedly announce their plan to retire, she is jolted out of her limbo. In this captivating successor to her much-lauded debut, When All Is Said, Anne Griffin portrays a young woman who is torn between duty, a comfortable marriage, a calling she both loves and hates and her last chance to break free. Listening Still is a heartachingly honest look at what we give up and what we gain when we choose to follow our heart.
