PEACE LIKE A RIVER

Actor Chad Lowe reads with a warm, deliberative voice perfectly suited to Leif Enger's meditative and melodic story of a family's search throughout the West for its outlaw son. Lowe doesn't attempt any verbal flourishes, nor does he try to give specific voices to different characters. Instead, he simply and beautifully reads aloud--slowly enough for Enger's evocative prose to shine and with just enough emotion to magnify this tale of the redemptive power of love. A.C.S.
