THE ORPHEUS CLOCK The Search for My Family's Art Treasures Stolen by the Nazis

Narrator Derek Perkins gives a dramatic yet restrained reading of this true story of the author’s quest to reclaim his family’s stolen legacy. The author’s grandparents, who were a well-known Jewish banking family in Europe that was acquainted with many leading figures in pre-WWI society, perished in the camps of WWII. Their story, combined with those of the author’s father and the author himself, is one that could never be made up. Perkins gives a splendid reading of both the narrative and dialogue. His voice is refined, his diction clear, and his inflection always appropriate to the text. One is quickly brought into a reading that is hard to turn off.
