THE LOST MANUSCRIPT

Four talented narrators--Elodie Yung, Rupert Degas, Cécile Delepière, and Jean Brassard--come together to present this epistolary novel about a manuscript found at an inn in Brittany. Finding the manuscript and researching its provenance is Anne-Lise, a Parisian with a love of books and the tenacity to track down those who have touched and been touched by the manuscript. Anne-Lise as portrayed by Yung is curious and bright, a character who exudes a boisterous bonhomie. Other portrayals include Maggie, her longtime friend, played by Delepière; Sylvestre, the charmingly French writer of the original manuscript, played by Brassard; and William, the quintessential Englishman, played by Degas, plus other French and Canadian correspondents. The voice of each letter writer is distinct and appropriate. D.L.G. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2021]
