A FAMILY MATTER

Miranda Raison's understated performance complements this quietly profound production. When an English couple divorce in 1982, it fractures their young daughter's life in ways she doesn't fully understand or heal from until a complex truth is revealed forty years later. The novel shifts between Dawn's romantic awakening with another woman and traumatic divorce proceedings from her husband in 1982, and their now grown daughter, Maggie's, discovery of hidden family truths following her father's terminal cancer diagnosis. Raison's emotionally attuned delivery of the characters' inner lives reveals a complex family portrait and ultimate renewal. A masterfully paced, thoughtfully narrated, and deeply impactful audiobook. J.R.T. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2025]
