BRIDGE OF SIGHS

Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Richard Russo continues to plumb the depths of decaying small towns in the Northeast U.S., unearthing hard-won truths and heartrending revelations. The talented Arthur Morey perfectly matches the even tone and pacing of the narrative as the listener is drawn into the life of the unfortunately nicknamed Lou C. (Lucy) Lynch and his best friend, artist Bobby Marconi. Morey’s portrayal of the laconic and introspective Lucy is juxtaposed with his take on Marconi and his energetic life in Venice. Humorous, insightful, and haunting, Morey’s delivery of this portrait of Main Street America is both elegant and sublime. R.O. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/ MAY 08]
