FUGITIVE PIECES

The dual narration of Munro and Matamoros lends a surprisingly deep sense of truth to FUGITIVE PIECES. A child's life is saved by a Greek geologist, who rescues him from hiding during WWII. Decades later, as an adult, he revisits the past by chance, when he meets a young professor whose parents survived the Holocaust. Listeners will be at once intrigued and deeply moved by individual voices that play off each other with a dialogue that seems almost operatic. There's a solid story here too, which makes listening even more fulfilling. R.A.P. © AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/MAR 00]
