TUCK EVERLASTING 50th Anniversary Edition

Narrator Alexis Bledel superbly imparts the magical realism in this classic, which contains an insightful new introduction. One morning in a long-ago village, Winnie discovers a magical spring and the secret of the extraordinarily long-lived Tuck family. To protect their secret, Mae Tuck and her sons spirit Winnie away to their home. Winnie is smitten with Jesse Tuck and his family. Bledel deftly highlights their differences: Winnie sounds forthright and deliberate, and the four Tuck family members are steeped in kindness. The Man in the Yellow Suit seeks to exploit the Tucks' secret. Bledel's portrayal of him suggests the kind of evil often hidden beneath smooth talk and ingratiating manners. An enchanting music box melody adds to the story. L.T. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2025]
