I WAS AMELIA EARHART

With the intriguing premise that Amelia Earhart tells us what happened on her ill-fated flight, Mendelsohn has captured a broad audience with this surprise bestseller. Blair Brown is a great choice to recount Earhart's reminiscences and tell her tale. Brown's soft, steady voice is best with a first-person narrative. She quietly and compellingly tells listeners details of Earhart's life and draws a portrait, not only with words, but also with vocal coloration. Brown leads listeners into Earhart's life and entices us to be her confidant. A smooth and enticing peformance. R.F.W. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT 96]
