Book description

Margaret Murphy's earliest memory isn't of sunshine or laughter-it's the day Agnes died. And she's spent her whole life weaving stories to outrun it. In Claire Oshetsky's Poor Deer, the audiobook becomes a quiet, devastating companion to that childhood grief. You hear Margaret's voice first: young, bright, stitching together tales where tragedies turn to joy, where Agnes never leaves the garden. The narrator's gentle, almost hesitant delivery makes you lean in, feeling the weight of every carefully constructed lie.

But then Poor Deer arrives. Not in the stories, but through them. A creature woven from shadow and insistence, whispering through the fabric of Margaret's made-up worlds. The audiobook's magic lies in how the voice shifts-soft for the child's fantasies, sharper, more urgent when Poor Deer demands truth. You feel Margaret's panic as her carefully spun endings begin to unravel. The mother's frantic denial-"She never left the house!"-echoes in the background, a ghostly counterpoint to Margaret's secret guilt. The audiobook doesn't rush the reckoning. You hear the hesitation in Margaret's voice when she finally admits, "I was there." It's a whisper, but it shakes the whole story.

Oshetsky doesn't offer easy healing. Poor Deer isn't a savior; she's a mirror. The audiobook's power is in its quiet insistence: we all build stories to survive the unbearable. Margaret's journey isn't about erasing the past, but learning to hold it without drowning. The narrator's voice carries that ache-hopeful, but not saccharine. You feel the relief when Margaret finally stops hiding, not with a grand resolution, but with a simple, hard-won breath. "I remember," she says. And for the first time, it's true.

This isn't just a story about loss. It's about the moment we stop lying to ourselves, and the terrifying, necessary freedom that follows. The audiobook lingers long after the final word, making you wonder: what story are you still weaving to keep the truth at bay? Poor Deer doesn't just haunt Margaret. She haunts you, too. And that's the mark of a story that's been waiting to be heard.
