FAR AND AWAY

by | Read by Patti Murin, Lisa Flanagan, Jennifer Jill Araya, Kevin R. Free, Pete Simonelli

Narrated by an ensemble, Poeppel's novel is delightful. Berliners Greta and her husband need a place to live in Dallas when he takes a one-year position there without discussing it with her. Lucy needs to flee Dallas quickly after her teenage son makes a mistake that puts his future in jeopardy. Connected by a mutual contact, Lucy and her children head to Berlin to stay in Greta's antique-filled apartment, while Greta and her husband move into a modern home in the sprawling suburbs of Dallas. Patti Murin's Lucy and Lisa Flanagan's Greta are perfect matches for the two matriarchs. The supporting characters, especially Lucy's parents, are funny; the international mishaps are entertaining; and the German dialogue sprinkled throughout make this modern home-swap story a must-listen.
