THE TIME OF OUR LIVES Collected Writings

The American conservative political revolution that took wing in 1980 made heroes out of politicians, thinkers, broadcasters, and Peggy Noonan--the journalist who chronicled its rise and influence. This audiobook contains her best writing about politics, life, character, and commitment to the cause. The narration of the book is a team effort. Noonan reads the introduction and does a credible job setting the book's tone. The rest of the chapters alternate between the bright, sunny voice of Betsy Foldes Meiman and the smokier, more atmospheric-sounding Rena Marie Villano. Both do a terrific job of interpreting Noonan's words, and each makes valuable contributions to the book's tone and message. The result is a fascinating jaunt through America's recent past and a set of ideas that will inform its future. R.I.G. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2016]
