Description
A unique audiobook experience, written and performed by an extraordinary new talent.
little scratch tells the story of a day in the life of an unnamed woman, living in a lower-case world of demarcated fridge shelves and office politics; clock-watching and WhatsApp notifications. In a voice that is fiercely wry, touchingly delicate and increasingly neurotic, the protagonist relays what it takes to get through the quotidian detail of that single trajectory - from morning to night - while processing recent sexual violence.
little scratch is about the coexistence of monotony with our waking, intelligent lives. It is a powerful evocation of how the external and internal aspects of our lives exist in a helix, and what it means to live out the course of a single day consumed by trauma.

Amazingly captive and very disturbing, this audiobook was a terrific listen. I cried, I laughed, I cried. Listened listened listened.
Just perfect, I could see the text in my head dripping down in slow curls. Cannot wait to own a copy in print. Thank you Rebecca for reading your book to me, it is rare to find the author's voice in audiobooks and you really put extra icing on your wonderful cake by doing so.
Loved it.
