WHAT MATTERS MOST

Popular romance writer Luanne Rice explores the interrelationships of four characters: a nun, her steadfast lover, their son, and a girl from a children's home whom he loves. This is a beautifully read story that examines the nature of love in its infinite variety: divine love, platonic adoration, parental love, spiritual bonding, family affection, and sexual love. Blair Brown guides listeners through this emotional, sentimental, even mystical story with grace and fluidity. Her grasp of accents--Irish, Boston, generic American--is perfect, and her delivery flawless. This is an enjoyable listening experience for romantics.
