THE PUNCH

This audiobook about the responsibilities of family, the fickleness of fate, and the meaning of time is expertly narrated by Edoardo Ballerini. THE PUNCH will leave some astounded by Hawley's skill as an author and others questioning whether this is just the work of an author showing off his literary gifts. The story concerns two brothers and their polar-opposite takes on family life and responsibilities. Thrown into the mix is the brothers' bitter mother, her late husband (the boys' father), bigamy, and a theme of interconnectedness through time. Regardless of how this audiobook strikes listeners, they will come away appreciating Hawley's abundant literary talent and Ballerini's perfect delivery.
