About this listen
Enter a cruel palindrome world: a symmetric place where disturbing situations displace the common; where good acts transmute to evil ones; where windows and mirrors are interchangeable. Within, characters influence each other through macabre arrangements of involuntary happenstance, and learn the inevitabilities of coincidence. A segmented story of a mother and daughter intertwines the others. This hidden sixth story, assembled from the five separate narratives, uncovers the sad life of a child who carries a palindrome name, and her struggling teenage mother. With five stories heading one direction, and Hannah traveling the opposite, the story unfolds like a palindrome. A puzzle within a puzzle.

Some memories never seem to go away.
This is a strange book, separate stories which move around each other, occasionally touching. This reader found it initially difficult to relax into, but this soon changed and the first section was reprised as the ending approached. All too soon: it could have continued for much longer.
Narrator Lawrence Alexander is superb, his soft, mix tonal voice reading with full recognition of the text and voicing any protagonist individually and with appropriateness. With good pacing, cadence and a lightness so well suited to the text, his is an excellent performance.
I was freely gifted a complimentary copy of Palindrome Hannah, at my request, by the rights holder, via Audiobook Boom. Thank you so much. Although I finally intrigued merely by the title, I soon discovered so much more to draw my attention to the diverse characters, briefly becoming involved in their lives, and wanting more. It was a book which not only brought me pleasure in the listening but also made me think. It is a book I know that I will revisit again in the future, something I only very rafely do, and it is a book I would be happy to recommend to all but the youngest of readers.

Great stories but a bit confusing at points
Five great stories that intertwine with each other. Only lost a star for my review as I found it confusing at some points and found myself relistening to parts to try make sense of it. Overall enjoyed though.
