RAVELING

With its opening lines, listeners will know this is no ordinary mystery. Pilot James Airie, a diagnosed schizophrenic named after his father's career as an airline pilot, decides to take it upon himself to put the family back together twenty years after the disappearance of his sister. Eric Stoltz lends to this audiobook the vocal finesse of a surgeon, injecting the slightest amount of color into each character, making them each stand out as individuals in their pain, denial, and eventual acceptance of their lives. Listeners will be taken by surprise with this dark and intricately woven tale of a family's journey toward wholeness. R.A.P. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/NOV 00]
