THE TUESDAY GIRL

Tanya Eby has given voice to hundreds of romance stories--and now it's her turn to give voice to her own story. Eby's trademark husky tones are pitch-perfect in the several steamy moments of her memoir. Listeners are treated to earnest and often hilarious slices of life in bite-size, conversational chapters about dating in one's late 40s after a bitter divorce--all the while balancing a career, a mother who is a hoarder, and two teenagers. Eby gives each character a distinctive, consistent timbre, notably the light Slavic accent spoken by one brief but delightful Czechoslovakian paramour. When the rawness of a deep betrayal (shared in a tremulous timbre) reveals a path for the Tuesday Girl to fall in love with herself, listeners will be cheering for Eby every day of the week. E.E.
