THE HOUSE OF MIRTH

Talented narrator Barbara Caruso uses her most empathetic voice to create the world of Old New York society and the eager-to-rise Lily Bart. Caruso recounts the details of the aristocracy with a precision matching this celebrated work by the master storyteller. She places just the right emphasis on phrases that evoke in the listener a deep emotional response. Caruso allows a slight tone of glee into her voice as the jealous competitors of Lily's success relish her downfall. R.O. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2014]
