A male voice may not always be able to do a woman's story justice. But Jay Laga'aia surprises in this fierce tale of the survival of Beth Heke, a Maori woman. Laga'aia's raspy voice is gritty, raw, and powerful as he characterizes Beth's life in a world of state-owned housing projects. This difficult story of struggle, disillusionment, and poverty could prove to be unrelenting for the listener. Yet Laga'aia's emphatic narration brings across Beth's determined spirit. At times angry, at other times reflective, the narration brings out the human desire for a better life. M.R. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2014]
