WINTERGIRLS

Earphones Award Winner

by | Read by Jeannie Stith

Young Adult Young Adult • 7 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2009

Narrator Jeannie Stith delivers this story’s introductory scenes with brutal harshness as Lia learns that her best friend, Cassie, has been discovered dead in a hotel room. The two best friends had been competitors in anorexia. Stith's staccato delivery is fitting for the embattled Lia, who hides her self-starvation and cutting from the perplexed adults who want to save her. Stith whispers Lia’s compulsive calorie counting and uses a muffled voice to deliver the haunting speeches that Lia believes are coming from Cassie’s restless spirit. In her text Anderson uses italics, parentheses, and cross-outs to create visual representations of Lia's torment; in the narration the tones used to differentiate these are somewhat distracting. Still, Stith takes listeners deep into Lia's dark and frightening fight for survival. S.W.
