LIZZY & JANE

Lizzy and Jane are two sisters torn apart by the past in this thoughtful family story. The pair have had a tense relationship since their mother's death, but now that Jane has been diagnosed with cancer, Lizzy is trying to reconnect with her. Narrator Hillary Huber successfully projects the tenuous relationship between the sisters, the story's pervading sense of loss, and the crisis Lizzy is going through at work and at home. Huber also portrays Lizzy's growth as she becomes more forgiving and more open to building a new future with her family. A tender story for listeners looking for a quiet novel about family.
