KYRA

Justine Eyre reads with the passion this novel's heroine demands. Kyra is haunted by having seen her first husband murdered by her half-brother. But as an architect, she also has enough vision and ardor to create a city. These pull her into a love affair with, Andreas, a man whose torments match her own. When Andreas leaves her, Kyra tries to end her life but heals with the help of a psychiatrist. Eyre embraces the voices of all the characters and captures the themes that give the story depth. As Andrews, Mark Deakins gives an expressive performance. S.W. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2008]
