GOIN' TO THE CHAPEL

Mayerson interviewed women of all ages around the country about their marriages, past and present. She found many willing participants and she compiled a delightful and insightful composite of marriages, good and bad. Burstyn's whimsical reading starts and ends abruptly on both ends of the tapes. Parts of the interviews are read as direct quotes from the participants. Trying to cover accents from all regions of the country, she fails only with the Southern accents. This is an enjoyable collection of viewpoints that draws its own conclusions. It is, for the most part, well performed. A.G.H. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/JUL 98]
