I will always sign on for anything performed by MacLeod Andrews, and he didn’t disappoint. Likewise the other narrators were equally incredible, and gave moving performances. But it was the writing itself, and the way Claudia Dey chooses to engage dense, heavy, subject matter, that make this novel shine. Prose so well written it reads more like music than a book. Add to that some truly intriguing choices (like giving one of your PoV chapters to a dog, for instance, and managing to pull it off, too) and you’ve got yourself a uniquely powerful and enduring story. Listen. Thank me later.
