MIGUEL STREET

Narrator Ron Butler takes listeners into one of Trinidad's seamier neighborhoods with the lilting cadence of the Caribbean islands. He vividly brings to life the characters struggling for love, survival, and happiness in the slums of Port of Spain. Butler captivates with their ups and downs as told via linked stories that are told from from the viewpoint of a nosy unnamed boy. Butler's conversational style helps listeners travel the emotional journeys of men, women, and children who live cheek to cheek yet hardly know each other. From domestic abuser George to the shadowy night cleaners, listeners are treated to the rich tapestry of these urban characters. M.R. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2018]
