Trip

In "Trip," a woman named Sandra navigates an odyssey through the afterlife after her sudden death at a conference in Nepal. With her teenage son, Trip, gone on a journey with a mysterious stranger, Sandra seeks to relay a message to him through a group of distracted mystics. This debut novel by Amie Barrodale explores themes of misunderstanding and maternal devotion, featuring a cast of restless souls and Buddhist deities, while humorously reflecting on the complexities of life and death. Narrated with skill by Eunice Wong, the story highlights the fleeting nature of time and the deep connection between a mother and her child.
