ABOUT MY FATHER'S BUSINESS

Life was easier in our collective memories in days of yore, and it is in those days we travel, accompanied by the marvelous voice of Ann Beach, as the author recounts her childhood in Cheshire, where her parents ran the corner grocery store. The reader attends to all of the town's inhabitants with grand voices, and her authoritarian reading makes the book a colorful listening experience. She reads with warmth and belief in the material while romancing the store. J.P. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 01]
