NINE DAYS

The author has sewn a finely stitched quilt out of one family's life in this audiobook with a surprise ending. The story begins during WII and ends in the present in a suburb of Melbourne, Australia, called Richmond. Each chapter features a character. Speaking in Australian accents, Caroline Lee and Tim Potter succeed in achieving continuity in their narrations through rhythm and tone. The humor, sadness, and compassion evident in their performances reflect the characters' emotional lives. Lee and Potter confirm that everyday life is important and choices are fateful.
