Two years into widowhood, Lisa "Lisey" Landon believes she's getting on with her life. But her sister's psychotic episode forces Lisa to confront her own past and present in a new way. Mare Winningham sounds convincing in Lisey's first-person narration, conveying longing, sadness, and anger in varying tones of subtlety and force. She shades her voice slightly to portray Lisey's sisters and late husband, maintaining distinct characterizations for all. For the secondary characters, Winningham attempts both Maine and Pittsburgh accents, neither of which portrays its proper region. Given her choice not to use regionalisms for the protagonists from these areas, one wishes she had remained consistent with their relatives.
