FLESH AND BONE AND WATER

Born into a wealthy, privileged family in Brazil, Andre Cabral is now an adult with his own family. A practicing doctor in London, he receives a letter from Brazil that sends him reeling with reminiscences of fateful events that transpired there before he left the country for his schooling. Charlie Anson's British-accented narration provides the voice for Andre. Anson's reading is thoughtful and reflective, capturing a man who is transported back in time, audibly intoxicated by memories and full of wonder at the past while shocked at new revelations. Snippets of letters from Luana, Andre's family's "empregada," or maid, are read with gentle subtlety by Kristin Atherton, also with a British accent.
