A HOUSE FOR MISS PAULINE

Narrator Sasha Frost delivers an outstanding performance as Miss Pauline, a lifelong resident of the village of Mason Hall, Jamaica, who is almost 100 years old. Miss Pauline knows that her time draws near. She hears voices at night, her house has begun making strange noises, and she knows she must right some wrongs. Reflecting on her life with the help of her granddaughter and a local young man, Miss Pauline tries to find the descendants of the legal owner of her land, who disappeared in the 1980s. Frost's delivery, especially her use of a Jamaican accent, proves impressive and moving. She successfully conveys Miss Pauline's confidence and spicy character while showing her warm, tender heart.
