MRS. GULLIVER

Martin's latest audiobook takes place in 1954 on Verona, a tropical island near an unspecified mainland, where Mrs. Gulliver runs a discreet legal bordello. Cassandra Campbell narrates as Lila Gulliver telling her story in an intelligent and determined voice. Campbell employs minor adjustments in tone as she delivers the dialogue of the other characters in the audiobook. Brutus's authoritative voice maintains order and supplies wise insights. Nineteen-year-old blind Carità has a cultured voice that reflects her plan to use the bordello as a stepping stone to a better life. Ian, the only son of the richest family on the island, sounds angry, judgmental, and determined to rescue Carità. Romeo and Juliet meet the characters in THE TEMPEST.
