Meadow and Carrie have everything in common—except their views on sex, power, movie-making, and morality. Their lives collide with Jelly, a loner whose most intimate experience is on the phone. Jelly is older, erotic, and mysterious. She cold calls powerful men and seduces them not through sex but through listening. She invites them to reveal themselves, and they do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpiotta is “a wonderfully gifted writer with an uncanny feel for the absurdities and sadnesses of contemporary life, and an unerring ear for how people talk and try to cope today” (\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e). \u003ci\u003eInnocents and Others\u003c\/i\u003e is her greatest novel—wise, artful, and beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49347499688240,"sku":"BDbs7u","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/299975-bs7u-Square.jpg?v=1734206516","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-bs7u","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
