ANNIE FREEMAN'S FABULOUS TRAVELING FUNERAL

When her doorbell rings, Katherine is struggling with the recent death of her friend, Annie, and the demise of a much beloved bra that's finally lost its zing. Worse things are in store, for she's about to become the organizer of a traveling funeral for five of Annie's dearest friends, who discover new truths in five different cities. Covering the cast of characters and diverse settings requires an accomplished narrator who can distinguish people and places with a lilt or a drop of the voice. Linda Stevens is fully up to the task. She also reads with briskness, turning a story that risks being saccharine and unbelievable into a satisfying listen. S.W. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/ MAY 08]
