THE COACH TRIP

Listening to Imogen Church narrate this story is an opportunity to spend a week on a guided bus tour up the coast of Scotland to Edinburgh. Listeners will also learn some history and connect with a dozen or so relatable characters. Thirty-something Emma and Mel find themselves on a road trip with Emma's grandmother and a dozen or so other senior citizens. Church adeptly portrays each character with subtle inflections to make it clear who's who. The first few chapters are a little rough to listen to because Church must channel Emma's erratic thoughts and behavior. Once Emma's become calmer, the character, and Church's interpretations, become more enjoyable. B.E.S. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2023]
