Eileen Free Audiobook Download by Ottessa Moshfegh


It is narrated by a woman named 'Alyssa Bresnahan' who sounds like one of those people that you'd meet at a party and say "I didn't think so."

Eileen is the story of a young woman's troubled life, told through her own journal entries and letters. She is a mess. She is a drunk and an addict, but she keeps people at arm's length. The one person she allows herself to touch is Eileen, who was once her best friend and then her lover in boarding school and now pines for her in the early morning hours. Eileen describes in painful detail their time together: days filled with drinking, drugs, sunbathing, and sex. Many years have passed since they last saw each other, but they still remain close friends; Eileen sends money every month to help pay Eileen's father's medical bills during his treatment for cancer.
