THE DINNER LIST

With delicate intimacy, author Rebecca Serle narrates a story that involves a surrealist dinner party and reflections on a decade of love and heartache. Sabrina Nielsen once answered the parlor game question: Which five people, living or dead, would you like to have join you for dinner? Now on her thirtieth birthday, Sabrina's ex-fiancé, best friend, estranged father, former philosophy professor, and, remarkably, Audrey Hepburn eat together and reminisce on their bittersweet lives. Serle depicts the dreamy dinner and the vignettes of Sabrina's past with equally light touches of whimsy. Her narration captures Sabrina's deeply felt pain, remorse, spirit of friendship, and passionate love. Though the dinner guests aren't as richly voiced, magic and emotive undertones make this audiobook bewitching. E.A.N. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2018]
