SANDCASTLES

Anne Marie Lee captures true depth of emotion, carefully changing expression to highlight the emotions experienced by Rice's characters as they face the highs and lows of their lives. Honor and John Dillon's marriage is destroyed when he is arrested in Ireland and doesn't return to their U.S. home for 11 years. Lee's crisp Irish accent brings the Irish police to life as John's arrest changes Honor's life forever. Though time and distance alter Honor and John's relationship, Lee's careful pacing and expression provide an audio experience tinged with a lilting hopefulness, allowing the listener to believe in the healing power of unconditional love.
