THE VANISHING ACT OF ESME LENNOX
by Maggie O’Farrell | Read by Anne Flosnik
Fiction • 7.5 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2006
What a haunting story is that of Esme Lennox, a flighty girl locked in an Edinburgh insane asylum by her family for being troublesome. All kinds of things happen when she’s released 60 years later into the care of a great-niece who never knew of her existence. Anne Flosnik does an excellent job with a story that shifts time periods and is told in a range of voices. She reads in a clear Scottish accent, shading character with subtle changes in pacing and modulation rather than creating a range of voices. Her flow of words creates a powerful story-current that pulls the listener along inexorably. Once begun, it’s hard to turn this book off. A.C.S.
