HEART, BE AT PEACE

A cast of eight narrators, including the author himself, portray the 21 residents of a small town in Ireland who are featured in this exploration of a community in transition. Seven of the narrators have Irish brogues, and one has an English accent. The performances range from a very feminine sounding set of characterizations of younger women by Toni O'Rourke, a more mature-sounding set of characterizations by Eva Bartley, a set of younger men by Killian Coyle, and several more mature men by Gerry Howard, to name a few. Some thematic elements tying the characters together include economic changes, social ills, prejudices, and relationships. It's a pleasure to listen to these expressive narrators.
