THE SCULPTRESS

Narrator Sarah Mollo-Christensen provides a lovely feminine voice for the free-spirited Emma Lewis Swan, a sculptor who lives in Boston with her husband, Tom, a doctor. When he leaves for France to aid wounded soldiers during WWI, Emma befriends Linton Bower, a handsome artist, and becomes the victim of malicious gossip. Hoping to rekindle her passionless marriage, Emma goes to Paris to aid in the war effort by using her talents to create masks for soldiers whose faces have been disfigured. Mollo-Christensen's male voices, while strikingly lower in register, give poignancy to Tom, Linton, and the many other men. Against the backdrop of war, Emma must face the deep secret about her past that she has kept hidden from the men who love her. J.E.S. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2021]
