A PLACE IN THE COUNTRY

After discovering her husband’s affair, Caroline Evans takes her 15-year old daughter and relocates to England, leaving behind their life in Singapore. Charlotte Dore evokes Caroline’s turmoil with a soft, restrained voice that becomes more powerful with the development of the husband's death and the mystery behind it. Dore’s rendition of Caroline’s headstrong teenage daughter is fresh and engaging. Though Dore sometimes runs together the voice of the narrator with those of the characters, the characters’ voices are usually distinct from one another. Further, Dore’s English accent complements the international story line. M.F. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2012]
