THE SECRET OF RAINY DAYS

Cassandra Campbell impresses with her narration of this heartfelt look at life in a small Southern town--told from the perspective of the one resident who managed to get out but can't stay out. The cast is large, yet Campbell ensures that no one sounds the same, not even the women who've spent their entire lives living next door to each other. When the Northerners make an appearance, Campbell slips into those accents with ease. She shines brightest when she drops a "Bless your heart" in a different tone in each of various situations so that listeners know exactly how each speaker really feels. Full of bighearted warmth, this audiobook is like a comfy robe. A.R.F. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2021]
