Narrator Rebecca Lowman portrays "Mac" Woods, a young professor who is embroiled in a web of relationships that are rooted in hidden motives and manipulation. Mac's mentor, Bethany, is urging her to try for a prestigious award, which will pit her against her friend, Gwen. Lowman balances the women's voices as well as that of Bethany's husband, Rocky. Bethany has a slightly sarcastic tone, while hard-drinking Rocky has a consistent Eastern European accent. Mac's troubled mother and younger sister are well represented by Lowman's shifts between frustration, anger, and annoyance. Characters weave through each other's lives, with Lowman's deft emotional touches carrying the story. M.B. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2021]
