GETTING RID OF MATTHEW

Rosalyn Landor's British accent aids the listener's enjoyment of this romantic comedy about a 40-year-old woman trying to get rid of her married lover after he has left his family in order to move in with her. At times funny, and even reflective, Landor is a capable narrator who takes the story through its various ups and downs and delivers its twists seamlessly. Alternating between the perspectives of the three main characters, Landor's characterizations of the mistress, the wife, and the meandering husband ensure that the listener is never confused. She shifts well among male and female characters and enlivens the cast of supporting characters each time they enter a scene. M.R. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/ MAY 08]
