THE STARS ARE NOT YET BELLS

Narrator Hillary Huber is the voice of Elle Ranier as she struggles to face her past and her secrets. Huber gives this unreliable narrator a compelling voice as Elle revisits the last 50 years of her life and loves, searching for meaning even as Alzheimer's disease swallows her memories. Her voice is puzzled as she looks back on her life on the island of Lyra, off the coast of Georgia, where her husband, Simon, searched for the source of a mysterious blue light that hinted at a mineral gold mine. She is confused as she struggles to recognize her adult children. And her voice trembles with regret as she reimagines her relationship with Gabriel and the what-ifs of a life that might have been.
