THE HIGH SEASON

Narrator Julia Whelan provides a conversational delivery for this multilayered summer story set on the North Fork of Long Island. Ruthie and her daughter, Jemma, start the tourist season as they always do, by welcoming summer renters into their beachside home. Little do they realize that by Labor Day nothing will ever be the same. Whelan's impressive ability to impart the characters' personalities into their dialogue comes to the fore in this story of new beginnings. She gives Jemma a recognizable teenage attitude, and an older art collector a rich man's confidence. This audiobook, with its fully realized characters facing real-life situations and a range of family and relationship issues, will bring depth to your reading list.
