Beautyland

Audiobook Flow is carrying Beautyland, read by Andi Arndt. Written by Marie-Helene Bertino.

At the moment when Voyager 1 is launched into space carrying its famous golden record, a baby of unusual perception is born to a single mother in Philadelphia. Adina Giorno is tiny and jaundiced, but reaches for warmth and light. As a child, she recognizes that she’s different: she possesses knowledge of a faraway planet. The arrival of a fax machine enables her to contact her extraterrestrial relatives, beings who have sent her to report on the oddities of earthlings.

That is the whole offer: the full recording, a chapter index, and a player that does not ask you to sign up.
