LONDON IS THE BEST CITY IN AMERICA

Laura Dave does an outstanding job melding parallel stories of two 20-somethings. When Emmy returns home for her brother's wedding, painful memories return as not only she, but also her brother, have second thoughts about his upcoming nuptials. Narrator Renee Raudman possesses a sweet voice that is both realistic and believable for heroine Emmy. As Emmy and her brother help each other to see what's most important in life, listeners feel privy to the heartwarming but painful process everyone must go through in order to become the best person he or she can be. Listening to the duo of Dave and Raudman is much like experiencing a movie of the ear. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 06/ JAN 07]
