JUST FOR THE SUMMER

It's good to know that summer holidays are the same the world over, whether in Cornwall, England, or Kennebunkport, Maine. Families come together, play out social rituals, and try to keep their children from disaster.This particular vacation account is read with alacrity by Rachel Atkins, who puts the listener in the mood for all the events in the community and makes us receptive to the struggling predicaments and the simple pleasures of every character. She brings joy to her voice and reads with a smile. J.P. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/MAR 01]
