THE IMPOSSIBLE THING

Phil Dunster's narration draws listeners into this mystery revolving around the now illegal collection of birds' eggs. The story is based in Yorkshire, England, in the 1920s and then jumps to current times. Listeners follow the journey of a rare egg that is found by a girl who risks her life by joining the many men who are precariously dangled over the edges of cliffs to obtain guillemot eggs. One hundred years later in Wales, this same type of egg draws friends Patrick and Nick into danger. Dunster's strong narration and use of rich northern English and Welsh accents create the perfect backdrop for this story. His characterizations help listeners differentiate the two timelines, and his portrayals of Patrick and Nick ensure their likability. K.J.P. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2025]
