A GUIDE TO BEING BORN

If you love the literary short story, then Cassandra Campbell and Kirby Heyborne do not disappoint with this production. They give voice to the rich, lyrical prose of this collection in soft, lush tones that are not only easy on the ear but also evocative. Their pace and diction are precise and measured during the narration, a style that places the dialogue in sharp contrast. This is an especially good listen for those who want to dip into and out of a volume. The characterizations of a wide cast show the dexterity of both the writer and the narrators.
