EVENING

Kathryn Walker lends her silky voice to Susan Minot's riveting tale of a woman's reflection on the true love of her life, forty years after its origination. Deep in illness, Ann Grant is transported in her mind to her twenty-fifth year when she fell in love at her best friend's wedding. Minot has woven an intricate, textual tapestry of grief and deep passion that is wholly supported by Walker's performance. The wistful melodies in her tones perfectly reflect the dream-like state of Ann's memories, thereby enhancing the impact of the story as a whole. This audiobook is a welcome addition to the collections of Susan Minot fans, as well as lovers of fine storytelling in general. R.A.P. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/JUL 99]
