THE BRIDES OF MARACOOR Another Day, Book 1

Narrator Debra Wise guides listeners through Gregory Maguire's latest series set in Oz's Wicked universe. Listeners are introduced to an enormous cast of characters, ranging from a girl to an old woman, with a cranky goose thrown in for good measure. The fact that at no point will listeners ever be confused as to who is speaking is a testament to Wise's vocal talents. Listeners will feel as though they are in the story, sitting down to dinner with the cast, running next to frightened villagers, or arguing with the grouchy goose. She does all of this while mastering Maguire's dense and poetic style. At various points her voice drifts into a melody that carries the listener through this epic adventure.
